How to test CGI is working with a ‘Hello World’ script

How to get CGI working on Plesk 11

Running CGi and Perl scripts is not as straightforward as PHP, so in order to get your CGI working, ensure to confirm the following steps. Once the file in in the correct location, and the file system permissions are correct you will be good to go.

1) Ensure Perl-CGI is installed on the server. If you host with us, this is already done for you.

# yum install perl-CGI

2) Ensure Perl/CGI is enabled for your domain name in your Plesk panel. Find the domain name in the Plesk panel and look at the ‘Website Sripting and Security’ section.

3) Create a file named ‘hello.cgi’ with the following contents:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print("Content-type: text/plain\n");
print("\n");
print("Hello World!\n");

4) Ensure your file is uploaded to /cgi-bin and not /httpdocs/cgi-bin

5) Ensure your file permissions on the file are 755, you can set this in your FTP application or File Manager

6) You can now execute the file as such: http://www.mydomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

Hello World!

Use httpdmng to reconfigure a single domain

sshHow to use Plesk httpdmng to rebuild a single domain

Rebuilding all site configurations can take a considerable amount of time, especially if you have many domains hosted on your Parallels server – so it’s best to avoid this where possible.

If you have made a change to only a single domain configuration (in vhosts.conf for instance) you will need to rebuild the configuration but for speed and performance there is no need to rebuild the configuration for all domains.

At the command line issue the following:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain domain.com

Within 15 to 30 seconds your domain configuration will be updated.
