cgi errors

[iford]

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I am trying to setup 10.sp2r3 under Ubuntu 10.04 and Apache 2.2 I have setup the config file for the site with the ScriptAlias as well as the AddHandler cgi-script .cgi. The permissions for the folders as well as the files are setup for 755 and everything is owned by www-data but I still can not get the wwwinstall.cgi to work it comes back with 500 error on the browser and in the apache log I get the following errors

But if I run a .cgi script written in perl it works with out a hitch so I am at a complete loss here..

Any ideas anyone has that would be great.

If this is 64-bit Ubuntu, then this is likely because the Ubuntu no longer installs the 32-bit compatibility libs by default, so you (or someone with root access on the server, if you don't have it) will need to install them. I believe the package name to install using apt-get is 'ia32-libs'.

That worked the cgi fired off the first time thank you. This might be something that would be good to include in the documentation due to more and more people are running 64bit versions of OS's on servers.

But thank you again.

As far as I know, it's not an issue for all 64-bit Linux OS's, just recent versions of Ubuntu.
