[cobalt-users] CGI Problems on the RAQ3

["Mark A. Bogani" <mark@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have experienced problems setting up CGI scripts on my Raq3.
Specifically, I tried to set up a simple one, FormMail.cgi.  I got several
different errors, the main one being a bad referrer.  This script is simple,
you just modify the path to perl, path to sendmail and lastly, the referrer
line.  I have used this script on several different servers (all linux) and
this is the first time I have had problems.  I finally called Cobalt and
instructed them to disable cgiwrap on the server.  Now I get a "Forbidden"
message on ALL scripts accept for the FormMail.cgi that they finally got to
work.  Many of my sites utilize UBB and Links 2.0 and I am extremely worried
about attempting to move them to my Raq3.  It could very well be that I just
don't understand CGI Wrap.  From what I gather, from Cobalt Tech Support, is
that cgiwrap works automatically and that I don't need to do anything
specific.  I looked at 3 or 4 different sites that have reference material
on cgiwrap and I still can't grasp it.  If anybody has any insight or
suggestions, I would be very appreciative.
