[Solved] Ruby scripts refuse to work on my account

[Matma Rex]

Ruby scripts don't work on my account. I am sure I did everything right - they're in cgi-bin dir, chmod is 755, I use #!/usr/bin/ruby shebang line, I've even created cgi-script apache handler for .rb extension. Still, every time I try to access .rb file i get error 500 (Internal Server Error).

 

What am I doing wrong?

You shouldn't need to add a ruby handler. That mime type is already set at your cpanel.

 

Have you tried a simple Hello World script?

 

[Matma Rex]

Of course I did. I've even tried script consisting only of shebang line, and even that caused error 500.

This support request is being escalated to our root admin.

A file with only the shebang will cause a 500 by design. You need to echo the Content-type header.

Here's a file I created on your account that is working fine:

Eh, but I was outputting this line :/

 

Anyway, thanks.
