Re: [cobalt-users] cgi-wrapper" not found

[Oliver Schellenberg <oliver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope I can answer your question by simply copying the content of an 
earlier contribution to this user group. Unfortunately, I don't remember 
who has contributed this but I've saved the text of the e-mail to a file on 
my harddisk. I didn't have the time to test it but it looks as it might be 
a good solution for the cgi-wrap problem. If anyone else has tested the 
things below, please let me know.

*********** beginning of the earlier user contribution *************

This is actully due to a glitch in apache, 1.2 has it too, it's agrivated
by the way cobalt defined the handler for cgi wrap, possible workaround

disable cgi's in the gui for site
add the following to .htaccess at the site's top level (web/)

Action application/x-wrapped-cgi /cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap
AddType application/x-wrapped-cgi .cgi .pl

This basiclly invokes cgiwrap based on a bogus mime type instead of
a raw handler, apache is issuing the warning message because it can't
match a mime type with the cgi-wrap handler....

DO NOT attempt to make this change to httpd.conf or srm.conf, it will
screw up all kinds of things in the GUI...

*********** end of the ealier user contribution ***************

I hope that someone else who has successfully eliminated the warnings in 
the error log without disabling cgi-wrapper can give a statement.

All the best and good luck :-)
