Re: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running

["Kevin O'Neil" <kevinslair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stephen,

Look closely at the errors: "/var/www/html/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi"

It is looking in the html folder because you don't have the domain or ip before the cgi-bin. yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi

I am unsure how to access the cgi-bin from the folder html without domain unless you have the cgi-bin in the html folder like:

 

/var/www/html/cgi-bin/myfile.cgi would work with action="" and even "/cgi-bin...

 

To access upwards .../cgi-bin/ should work.

Thanks,

Kevin

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""     the error is    The file /var/www/html/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""     the error is    The file /var/www/html/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

If I have <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=""  the error is  The file /cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found

 

So how do I get it to look in /var/www/cgi-bin   

 

I’ve put  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/  “/var/www/cgi-bin/”  in the config file, dosen’t this do it?

 

 

Thanks
