Subject: Re: CGI with Apache and Sybperl on Red Hat 5.0/5.1
Date: Jun 8 1998 8:30PM

Nope this is a Sybperl problem (or at least a sybperl with CGI problem). I've
duplicated the issue under Redhat 5.0. Here's the debug output: [root@gromit
cgi-bin]# ./test2.pl (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

[root@gromit cgi-bin]# and here's the error log when I go after it as a CGI.The context allocation routine failed when it tried to load localization files!!One or more following problems may caused the failureCannot access the sybase home directory, please check environment variable SYBASE or ~sybaseSybase::CTlib initialize: cs_ctx_alloc() failed at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Sybase/CTlib.pm line 845.BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/httpd/cgi-bin/test2.pl line 3.[Mon Jun 8 15:26:28 1998] access to /home/httpd/cgi-bin/test2.pl failed for 10.32.0.2, reason: Premature end of script headersAt 03:04 PM 6/8/98 -0500, you wrote:> This isn't a Sybase problem or a SybPerl problem, it is a CGI > problem.
