Hi guys,

Before I post the question I already search the forum about how to  
configure apache 2.2( under xp) to run Ruby script. I find one previous  
post and follow it: 1) add line #!c:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe -w at the start  
of the script 2) change the file extension as .cgi 3) add a line  
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl in httpd.conf file. (No problem to run  
the perl script)

####cgi1.cgi

#!c:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe -w  
&nbsp;&nbsp;print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"  
&nbsp;&nbsp;print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"  
&nbsp;&nbsp;print "\<html\>\<body\>Hello World!\</body\>\</html\>\r\n"

Try this as a first line:

#!C:\Ruby\bin\ruby.exe -w

Remove this line (Apache provides it):

print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"

See if that works.

Hi Paul,

After I remove this line

print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"

Thanks,
