Re: [cobalt-users] cgi

["LinuxMan" <linuxman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The first things you should do to diagnose any cgi script is to:

1) Make sure you telent to the script directoy and chmod 755 filename
2) Make sure you telent to the script directoy and chmod +x filename
3) Make sure you can write to whatever counter file you are using.

If that does not help...

4) Change the .cgi to .cgid and run the script from your browser. That will
run it in diagnostic mode. Check for errors there.

5) If you are calling the script from an SSI call, i.e #exec, make sure the
html file is .shtml so it parses.
