 Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 9:40 pm Post subject: How to use Korn cgi script with apache |
 |
|
I found a nice little web counter script that I wanted to put on a web page. It is a Korn script and I can't get it to work. I installed ksh and it still didn't work. The cgi-bin script is executable and so is the html page I am calling it from. Can someone help me with this one.
The cgi-bin script called 'hclcount' is:
| Code: |
#!/bin/ksh
# This script creates a file showing the number
# of times it has been executed. Useful for
# background counts of html accesses and the like.
# Written by Jay Hennigan (jay@west.net)
# Released to the public domain 1996.
echo
typeset -i counter=1
outfile=../htdocs/$1
if test -s $outfile
then
read counter < $outfile
counter=$counter+1
fi
echo $counter > $outfile
|
My simple test page called 'hittest.html' is:
| Code: |
<html>
<head>
<title>Page to test my hit counter</title>
</head>
<b>Total Hits: <!--#include virtual="/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/hclcount?testpage"--></b>
</html>
|
I have also tried:
| Code: |
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/hclcount?testpage"--></b>
|
and it doesn't work.
I created the testpage file by doing the following in htdocs directory:
| Code: |
touch testpage
chown apache:apache testpage
chmod 755 testpage
|
Any help would be appreciated.

Running Korn scripts from an html page just plain sounds like a bad idea to me, but maybe I am off base.
Unless you really need it to be Korn specially, I would recommend looking into PHP or maybe perl. |
