[cobalt-users] CGI Works on Linux Box Not on RAQ3

[ted <ted@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I installed a simple guest book script today on a RAQ3. I can not get it to
work. However, when I installed it on a linux box, it works just fine...
first try. I got the same results with another script I tried.

If you go here...

http://www.astrodawg.net/guests/addguest.html

Fill out the form to sign the guest book, it submits the form and you get an
error page saying that you left the form blank, even if you did not. The cgi
script appears to function properly... however, it seems that it is not
reading the content of the form from the input page.

The script is chmod 755.

The /guests/ directory and the pages in it are chmod 777.

Variables are

$guestbookurl = "http://astrodawg.net/guests/guestbook.html";;
$guestbookreal = "/home/sites/home/web/guests/guestbook.html";
$guestlog = "/home/sites/home/web/guests/guestlog.html";
$cgiurl = "http://astrodawg.net/cgi-bin/guestbook.pl";;
$date_command = "/bin/date";

Any idea what could be wrong here? This is driving me nutz.

Here is the working script on a linux server, everything the same except
paths....

The script can be downloaded here:

Thanks for any help, makes no sense to me.
