CGI Program using KSH

[ashanabey]

Hi

I wrote a program call a another cgi script using ksh, but I find problem to call the second script both scripts in http:/myhost/cgi-bin/qry.cgi and get_color.cgi(secound scripts.)Message I am getting is page is missing cant find.

Any idea...? How to call the secound script

qry.cgi (First Script)
----------------------
print "content-type:text/html"
print ""
print ""
print ""
print "

Personality by Color MMMMM....!

"
print "

"
print " Pick A Color (RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW) "
print ""
print "
"
print ""
print ""
print ""

get_color.cgi Secound Script
----------------------------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
print "content-type:text/html"
print ""
print ""
print ""
print "

YOOOOOOOOOOO

"
name_value_pair=$QUERY_STRING
your_color=${name_value_pair#color=}
print "

$your_color

"
print ""

Maybe the second program is not executable?
This typically happens after an ftp (or for a newly editted script).
Try chmod +x /data/web/public/cgi-bin/sscan/get_color.cgi

Double check with ls -l before and after.

Also... you may want to consider using perl for this kind of stuff. It has good support for cgi work. And you are not going to use much of the stuff shells are good at: invoking and organized series of commands.

fwiw,
Hein.

I might be missing something but should the following line

print ""

be something like

print ""

Is the dirname part of the URI /data/web/public/cgi-bin/sscan/get_color.cgi (from your script's form tag) a webserver valid ScriptAlias, or is in your httpd.conf (supposed your webserver being Apache) a or block that adds an Option ExecCGI ?
