CGI program failed to work

chaski has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I had a CGI program working OK. Now I only can run it from the shell prompt. If I run It from a browser the Apache error log says :

Can't locate DynaLoader.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl
+5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6
.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/pe
+rl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site
_perl) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DBI.pm lin

Can anybody help me?

If you can run it from the command line, have you consired switching to the user that Apache is running under? If that fails, it may very well be some sort of permissions problem. Also, check to see if you have more than one version of Perl on the box and if you are running the same version of Perl from the command line as from the CGI program. I've been bitten by the latter.

Merci. Regrettably, demerphq pointed out a flaw in my comments vis-a-vis evolution. I can still rewrite it to take into account his comments, but that's Yet Another Project which I haven't gotten around to working on. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.

A search via the internet suggests it may be a permissions issue. Have you reinstalled/upgraded perl recently? Where is DynaLoader.pm? Have you added it to the @INC? (check that out here) -phill	[reply]

Hi chaski, Can you please post your code? This helps everyone. Oh, and I should say, it might be URGENT to you, but it's not to the rest of us. :-) ibanix `$ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;`	[reply] [d/l]

Or to put it differently (and, IMHO, better): everyone's problem is as urgent as anyone else's. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

"Or to put it differently (and, IMHO, better): everyone's problem is as urgent as anyone else's." Mine isn't. But then again I have an inferiority complex (it's not a very good one).	[reply]

Your shebang line says something like `#!/usr/bin/perl` but on the command line you say `perl some.cgi` [download] and it works that way right? If this is the case, your shebang line needs to be changed to point to the same version of perl that you are calling on the command line. Type this on the command line to get a hint. `locate perl` [download] Good luck.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I am on solaris using csh.. There is no LOCATE command available... Anyway.. even if you use : perl script.cgi or just script.cgi it works... thanks	[reply]
