[mapserver-users] Couldn't run perl mapscript under Apache

[Lowell Filak]

If you run the script at the command line and then immediately do "cat mapserver.log" what does it show?
If you also do "ls -l mapserver.log" what does it show?

> I tried as you told me. If I ran with command line, mapserver.log was created whem error occured. But when run on Apache, mapserver's never created as error occured. (access right with this directory'd set to 777 already) So I checked it at error_log of httpd log file, but it's non-sense to me. It showed only "Premature of script headers: /usr/mapserver/testmap.pl".

> And I tried to change script logic flow as you, Puneet, told me. It's the same error as before (Internal Server Error).

> Do I have to specially configure when I create mapserver program? Any comments, help, advice would be graceful.
