Noob CGI user Question

[shaiss]

Anyone have CGI experience willing to help me out?

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    int ch;
    while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
        putchar(ch);
    putchar('\n');
    return 0;
}

fails @ http://bit.ly/2jooFR

it also fails when running it via terminal.

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid. The reason I need this is we have several CGI scripts in C written and I need to call via my PHP scripts, but first I need to make sure I can even run CGI scripts in C on my server

CGI in Pearl works, http://www.attendview.com/phptest/hello.pl

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

# hello.pl -- my first perl script!

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "Hello, world!\n";

I am not sure why your script is not running, but try the one posted here.

I didn't know that I had to compile the script as cgi.

Again, noob mistake. Thank you!
