Problem running Perl / CGI

[igoldman]

Hello to all members ,

I would like to run cgi / perl scripts.

in which folder I need to host the files ?

currently I see that the following is installed in my server :

Perl v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

when I try to run cgi file then I get the following error :

502 Bad Gateway
Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server

someone knows this issue ?
someone know how to fix it ?

The error can be caused by the following:
502 Bad Gateway. Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy. You receive this error message when you try to run a CGI script that does not return a valid set of HTTP headers.
502.1 CGI application timeout.
502.2 Error in CGI application.

Has anyone resolved the "Bad Gateway" error?

Hi , give us more details.

Also check which Perl modules do you need ?

There is possibility to install additional perl modules under windows platform.

Plesk for Windows 7.5.6
PHP 4.4.3 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Jul 31 2006 23:25:09)
Perl v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

Users are having issues uploading files in Nuke/Mambo sites...they are getting the Bad Gateway error. I've upgraded PHP to 4.4.3 which some have said fixes the problem. I have changed all php scripts to use curl instead of fopen...still have an issue

I thing most common problem with this error is folder or file permission.

Put this line in perl script file after "#!/usr/bin/perl":

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

This will help you get clearer message of what is wrong when you access your webpage
