my first simple cgi bash file
I use my internet browser to display images/graphs I created with gnuplot. So for each picture I have a plot.gp file that contains gnuplot commands. My final goal is to open an editor with the file plot.gp when I click on the picture.
The only way I found to achieve this is to use cgi to run a bash scripts. But I'm not able to make an "hello word" code work... So here is what I did :
- I installed on linux the packaged cgi-mapserver
- I saved in the file
hello.bashin/usr/lib/cgi-bin/and gave it the correct permission (chmod 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.bash).
But when I do firefox /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.bash my browser display the whole file instead of only "hello world!"
My file /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hello.bash :
#!/bin/bash
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<html><head><title>Welcome</title></head>"
echo "<body>"
echo "Hello world"
echo "</body></html>"
I'm sure I forget something very basic... but I can't figure what it is :-(
You should use your browser's file associations to use your editor for downloaded .gp files. It is a web server, not a browser, who uses cgi-scripts.
