What you’ll need for this install:
1. WampServer ( Windows Apache Mysql and PHP)
2. ActivePerl
Installing the WAMPServer setup is a quick and easy Apache webserver with PHP support and MySQL on windows.
Installing the Active perl setup in the c:wamp/bin/perl. This will set up a similar structure keeping the files separate, just like it is for php,mySql and Apache folders.
Now you’ll need to install a few extras …
From a command shell
Program Files -> Run -> cmd
cd\perl\bin
ppm
From the Packages select DBI as well as DBD-mysql if not installed and install these.
Now you’ve set up Perl with the extra packages you need its time to tell Apache what to do with .cgi files..
Click the little WampServer icon in your taskbar go up to config files and click on httpd.conf
You’ll want to add in section #cgi Options +ExecCGI
somewhere around “Options Indexes FollowSymLinks”
you’ll also want to add in further down …
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Restart Apache (click the icon .. and restart all or just … apache -> restart) … and you should be up and running
you need to create 2 files inside a new folder under www directory of wamp :acgi_form.html
backaction.cgi
Then run the acgi_form.html under wamp server.
Example file :
Create a file named acgi_form.html
Create a file named backaction.cgi
then , run the wamp server ,
and open the cgi_form.html
( for example : http://localhost/acgi_form.html )
oops, now you may see a 403 Forbidden message like this
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /backaction.cgi on this server.
Whoops ... thats right. You have to put the script into the cgi-bin.
The ScriptAlias directs all scripts to be found in the /cgi-bin/
also change <form action="backaction.cgi" to <form action="/cgi-bin/backaction.cgi"
Now when you submit your personal favorite color the cgi or perl script will spit back the parameters at you.
Ok, this wraps up part 1 of the installation. In the next round we will learn how to get ASP.NET up and running without IIS.
Take a break and come again soon :)
