Is anyone here using xampp

[theking]

...and in turn using cgi script in a cgi-bin located in htdocs? I need to know what you are using on your script to point to perl. #!C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe is what I am using and for some reason it does not work.

Anyone...

On httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "C:/xampp/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

On script:
#!"C:/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe"

Restart apache and run localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl

Anyway, get a linux box to run apache, xampp is buggy.

Thanks for the input. On script...are the quotes required?

I an now getting a 403 error.

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

Before Script alias add:
<Directory "C:/xampp/cgi-bin">
Require all granted
</Directory>
This should fix the 403 error

I use easyphp and I prefer it over xamp or wamp.
