RE: [cobalt-users] cgi-wrapper issues on RaQ2

["Tony Patti" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I take it you can still access the board-admin features?
What is the actual message from the discus mail test?
What do you have entered as the mail path in the discus config screen?
Can you post messages?

All the Raq products seem to give this standard cgi-wrap log warning whether
the script is working or not.

Send me,off-list,the last 10 log entries for:
/var/log/httpd/error
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages

and I can give you a hand with it. Have installed discus many times.

I am very new to all of this so I will try to explain the problem as clearly
as possible - thanks in advance for bearing with me...

I am trying to get a little web discussion forum program setup and
configured (Discus Pro - www.discusware.com).  Everything is going well
except for one feature of the software.  The email "module" is not able to
send out mail messages.  The program lets you pick 3 ways of sending out
mail - sendmail, mail, SMTP.  I had the thing configured to use sendmail and
this worked for a while - until I changed my mail server from sendmail to
CommuniGate Pro (actually a pretty nice server).  Now, when I perform the
email configuration and run the test I get a message generated in the log
reading:

...[warn] handler "cgi-wrapper" not found for:
/home/sites/site1/web/cgi-bin/discus/board-auth.cgi

The knowledge base points me to check out the script and to make sure that
all referenced URLs refer to the correct path.  Now, I do not know much
about perl scripts but everything seems to be in order.  I get this same
error no matter what method of connectivity I try.  It does not seem to be
related to the new mail server since it does not appear to even get that far
in the mail submission process.  It does seem strange though that the
sendmail submission method worked before changing the server software.

I have also tried Cobalt's method of disabling cgi-wrapper and this only
seemed to provent me from using the Discus Pro program at all.

I do not which direction to proceed or where to look next.  If anyone has
any ideas I would appreciate any input.

Thank you all!
John
