Ruby Cgi Script

[randomguy]

hi,

I have a simple ruby cgi script that I want to be able to use via helio web-server. It is working ok on my linux machine. Where exactly should I upload this cgi script? The cgi-bin folder or the public_html folder? My script includes the following shebang: #!/usr/local/bin/ruby. Do I need to change permissions on the script file? So far I've not been able to execute/access it from either cgi-bin or public_html.

Thanks.

I've uploaded another script with the following shebang: #!/usr//bin/ruby. Sadly, still getting server error.

 

I would really appreciate if anybody could help.

What server are you on, and what is your username?

• Create public_html/cgi-bin/test.rb
• Give it 755 permissions
• Put the following contents

#!/usr/bin/ruby



puts "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"

puts "Ruby is working as CGI..."

Here is my example file on Johnny http://krydos1.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/test.rb

Thanks @Krydos for your tips, the script is up and running.
