I am trying to run C++ CGI script on nginx. I am using FCGIWrap with script from nginx website. The program code is like this:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n";
cout << "<html>\n";
cout << "<head>\n";
cout << "<title>Hello World - First CGI Program</title>\n";
cout << "</head>\n";
cout << "<body>\n";
cout << "<h2>Hello World! This is my first CGI program</h2>\n";
cout << "</body>\n";
cout << "</html>\n";
return 0;
}
And I compiled with g++ -o start.cgi start.cpp. So when I run ./start.cgi, I got the correct output. But when I use curl localhost/cgi-bin/start.cgi, I got binary output(and actually see cout responses and information like GCC ... So I suspect it is the compiled executable file)
My nginx.conf:
