CGI Error (need help)
Bernard
I have a problem with a CGI script on a Win2000 server.
The script is for sending E-cards and was written by Jason Maloney.
You can choose from some cards, add your own text and send it to a friend.
This friend get a mail which tell him/her that he/she has a mail and have to
click a link.
So far everything works just fine.
But when the recipient clicks the link he/she gets the following error
message in the browser window:
----------------------------------------------------
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Can't open perl script
"D:\Inetpub\HCO\www\cgi-bin\postcard\card.cgi1070022045": No such file or
directory
--------------------------------------------------------
The cgi script is in \cgi-bin\postcard\card.cgi
But the data it has to retrieve is in
\cgi-bin\postcard\cards\1070022045.dat(for example)
Each mail generates a new .dat file.
Any ideas???
You can try it on our test site:

I was able to repeat the problem. Seems to me to be a bug.
You'd better ask the author about it.

Well, then I suppose you'd better show us relevant parts of the code.
Doing so would increase the chances that somebody is able to help,
don't you think? ;-)

Ok Gunnar, here is the code.
The first one is card.cgi

Nothing to find in the logs, the error message (first post) is the only

Well, it's not the best script I have seen. :(
Anyway, in card.cgi you have:
$cards = "d:\\Inetpub\\HCO\\www\\cgi-bin\\postcard\\cards\\";
Backslashes and double quotes is a tricky combination. You'd better
change the line in card.cgi to:
$cards = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/cards/';
You'd better change all the paths that way, btw. And you'd better make
it a habit to never use backslashes as directory separators in Perl
scripts, even if you are on Windows.
Let us know if that makes a difference.
Bernard
> Let us know if that makes a difference.
Gunnar,
I joined the Google newsgroup, so I can see what's happening here from
my home PC.
I just changed the code like you said, but with no results. I still
get the same error message.
Here is the change I made:
$domain_name = '195.86.135.223';
$location = 'http://195.86.135.223/cgi-bin/postcard/';
$basepicurl = 'http://195.86.135.223/cgi-bin/postcard/pictures/';
$cgi = 'http://195.86.135.223/cgi-bin/postcard/card.cgi';
$cards = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/cards/';
$basepicdir = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/pictures/';
$preview1 = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/preview1.html';
$preview2 = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/preview2.html';
$makecard = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/makecard.html';
$thank_you = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/thankyou.html';
$error = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/error.html';
$email1 = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/email1.txt';
$email2 = 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/email2.txt';
$mailprog = 'windmail';
$MAX_DAYS = '10';
@picsallowed = ('gif','jpg','jpeg');
$subject1 = "je hebt een 'Groet uit Zwolle!' E-card.";
$subject2 = "Bedankt voor het gebruik van onze E-card(s)";
$uploadmax = '50';
$allowed = '1500';
require 'd:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/program.cgi';
Or do I have also to change something in the program.cgi file?
Would 't be better to put the map "postcard/" out of the cgi-bin map?

Actually, the script is bad. One reason why I say so is the total lack
of checks whether various system calls succeed or fail. However, I'm
not able to detect any obvious bug that explains the problem.
One thing you can do is to manually check for the existence of files
in the $cards folder (using your FTP program or whatever).
If you don't find any files, you can try chmod the folder 777.
That's all I can think of. (Besides a total rewrite of the script.)

That should not make a difference.

The script is pretty horrible, if you ask me, but you're not going to find
the cause just by looking in it. Rather, you need to look at the url that's
being generated in the email:
http://195.86.135.223/cgi-bin/postcard/card.cgi?1070208188
Seems you get a value with no key, which is what appears to be choking your
server. From what I see in the code, the author expects to be able to use
the query_string variable (the number, in this case) to retrieve your card,
but your server isn't accepting the url as being valid because it does not
contain a valid key=value pairing.
To fix the problem you're going to have to output a url with, for example,
?card=107028188, and then instead of checking for query_string and operating
on it, check for the paramter card and use it's value. So, change this line
in your code:
$url_of_card = "$cgi?$date";
to
$url_of_card = "$cgi?card=$date";
And then change these lines:
if ($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) {
############################################
#Makes Postcards and Sends Thank You E-mail
############################################
$create_card = "$cards$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}.dat";
to:
if ($VALUES{'CARD'}) {
############################################
#Makes Postcards and Sends Thank You E-mail
############################################
$create_card = "$cards$VALUES{'CARD'}.dat";
And in theory the script should then start working for you.

I'm not following you now, Matt. Are you saying that the _server_
accomplishes some kind of validation of query strings, requiring that
they consist of '=' separated key/value pairs? I'm not exactly an
expert on this, but I have never heard of such checks.

Neither had I, to tell you the truth... : )
It just seemed odd that when I clicked on the link the server gave me an
error that it was trying to execute a script that corresponded to the url,
so I tried adding in a key and it worked (although it gave me a "card not
found" error). Could just be an IIS bug (assuming that's what he's running),
or could be something odd in the way the cgi-bin is configured to execute
scripts.

You are right ... For some inscrutable reason, a '=' character makes a
difference.
I'm totally lost. :(

Matt and Gunnar,
Thanks both for your input.
I just changed the code, but it still doesn't work. I now get a different
CGI Error message:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
d:/Inetpub/HCO/www/cgi-bin/postcard/program.cgi did not return a true value
at D:\Inetpub\HCO\www\cgi-bin\postcard\card.cgi line 53.
------------------------------------------------
Line 53 calls program.cgi, so the error is generated somewhere in it (I
think!).
What next???

What if you add this line to card.cgi (before program.cgi is required):
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';

Nothing changed. Still get:

HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Is it possible that it has to do with some IIS 5 configuration? File Type
(parameters) for example?

Maybe. Your server does not seem to behave as you would expect, but
I'm not able to help you with that.
Bernard
Yoopy, its working just fine.
At the point I was thinking to use an other E-card script,
I change in IIS 5 the way the folders call the Perl application. I now used
"Default Application" in place of the advanced features.I put everything
back to original (code) and gave it a last try. And D..mn, it works!!!
Please give it a final try. I'll only be happy when I'm sure it works for
everybody.
I'm very sorry to misused your time for something, whom afterward, had
nothing to do with Perl.
I really appreciated your help.
Thanks to all of you, specialy Gunnar.

Yep, now it works for me too.

It's okay, Matt suspected quickly that it had something to do with
IIS, but I think that at least I learned something.

Glad to hear it.
Thanks Gunnar.

The moral of the story is never trust Microsoft to do the right thing.
As a side note, you probably don't want your web scripts running off the
perl executable. If you have the Activestate build, it should give you the
option on install to confgure the perlis.dll for iis. If you don't want to
re-install, just change the cgi mapping to point to the dll, which is
located in your \perl\bin directory (no other arguments are necessary).
