Serve C pages from Apache on Win XP.
Hi,

I have Apache 1.3.14 setup on Windows XP and running smoothly. It has Perl and PHP configured to serve pages as well. I want to be able to run C CGI applications from apache, but I am not sure how to configure it. I had an installer setup apache and php and perl etc.

I have the following program written just to test it:

Quote:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
printf("Test");
return 0;

}


Any advice on how to get this program running would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Because you need to compile it.

I know I have to compile it. I have compiled it, and placed it in the htdocs directory of apache as test.exe

It is not doing anything to the browse. It is not executing... I need to know how to get apache to realise it has to print the output to the browser.

Because htdocs directory by default is not where you should put your cgi scripts into. You need to put it in your cgi-bin. And cgi-bin by default doesn't reside under htdocs.

If you have php why not use something like:

pippo.php
PHP Code:
<?php
passthru( "/path/to/test.exe" );
?>


just some thoughts...

Thanks. I can't believe I forgot to place it in the CGI-Bin. I am used to whacking my PHP scripts in the htdocs directory. Bad habit

I reply to pippo: Executing the C file by itself is quicker then having to execute it from a PHP file. I am eventually wanting to develop high-end CGI applications in C, so I don't want PHP to slow it down
