ERROR: missing environment variable 'SCRIPT_FILENAME'!

[dougconran]

I'm trying to use Perl with Fast CGI but get the above error.

I've set up a Context pointing to my Perl scripts in /cgi-bin/ and everything works fine when the Type is CGI.

I've set up an External app pointing to lsperl.fpl, and linked that to the cgi-bin context (re-configured for Fast CGI). I've also confirmed that I have the FCGI module in my Perl path but, as soon as I try to run the Perl script I get the error.

The log files don't report any problems.

Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Many thinaks

Have you followed this

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes I have (with the one difference being that I installed FCGI.pm after installing Litespeed).

I don't have PHP running but do have Ruby on Rails configured (from following the RoR installation guide) which works fine.

I've also set FCGI_PERL_MAX_REQ=1000 in the Perl External App Environment variables.

I'm running v 4.0.11 of Litespeed and perl 5.10.1

TIA

can you compare your perl External App settings with our demo page:
http://www.litespeedtech.com/litespeed-live-demos.html

go to the demo admin console,
Virtual Hosts -> demo -> External App ->lsperld

any difference with yours?
