[cobalt-users] CGI POSTS

[Robert Fitzpatrick <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

I have had my Cobalt RaQ 3 for a month now, but seem to always have a
problem with CGI everytime I transfer over a site from another server where
everything works fine. It seems my forms that are set with POST methods are
collected as GET request methods with they arrive at the cgi perl scripts.
This has happened for different unrelated scripts that work fine on another
server. I always manage to get them working, but have not found the cause.

I currently have the following in my access.conf file:

<Directory /home/sites/*/web/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
Options  ExecCGI -Indexes
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
</Directory>

This is to only allow CGI Wrap on the CGI directory and then I disable CGI
Scripts for the sites. I have commented this out several times trying to
debug the problem above, and, after message with turning off and on the CGI
Scripts for the site and disabling/enabling this in the access.conf file, it
starts to finally work. But I just can't definitely put my hand on what is
causing the initial problem when I start with the same settings that fail
than I end up with that work.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and could possibly tell me what
may be causing such a problem.

Thanks
