Perl Samples

This topic discusses how to deploy Perl demo applications on your server.

Note

To find information about how specific application works, see the Samples by Application topic.

Installation Steps

  1. Copy all the files from the Samples\Perl subfolder of the Image Uploader SDK into some directory on your web server.
  2. Make sure that the Gallery folder has enough permissions:
    • On Windows NT/2000/XP you should grant the modify permission to the internet guest user (IUSR_<machinename>).
    • On Windows 2003 you should grant the modify permission to the NETWORK SERVICE group.
    • For *NIX systems you should specify appropriate permissions.
  3. ImageMagick should be installed for the Server Imaging Sample.
  4. Run a browser and type the URL of the demo applications start page (index.pl in the root of the Perl folder).

Troubleshooting

Resource Not Allowed

If the web server is not configured properly, you may get HTTP error 405 ("Resource not allowed"). In this case it is likely that your web server is not configured to interpret files with the .pl extension as server scripts. To solve the problem, you should either rename all .pl files to use the extension that your server handles correctly (e.g. .cgi), or modify the server settings appropriately. If you decide to rename files, do not forget to update links to these scripts in the source code.

Cannot Upload More Than N Megabytes

The most typical cause of this problem is a server-side limitation for the maximum POST request length. Usually, it is specified to reduce the risk of DoS attacks. If the request size exceeds some specific value, it is considered malicious, and the upload is broken. In this situation Image Uploader displays the following error message:

Upload failed (the connection was interrupted).

To increase the limit of the maximum upload size, you should edit your server configuration files. If you use Apache web server, you can do it as follows:

  1. Open the httpd.conf file. You can find it:
    • On Linux: /etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf
    • On Windows: <Apache installation folder>\conf\httpd.conf
  2. Change the LimitRequestBody parameter to a necessary value, e.g.:

    LimitRequestBody 104857600

If you use another server, refer to its documentation for instructions on configuration.
