Subject: [cobalt-users] Raq550: CGI programs do not seem to work


I am trying to run a CGI cart program that works on the Raq4 but it is
not working on the Raq550.  

The message states, "The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Your
administrator may not have enabled CGI access for this directory."

The CGI option is enabled

What can we do to fix this?

John

John,

If you are using MySQL in your perl app, that is most likely causing the
problem.  Of course, I assume that you have the file permissions of the CGI
script setup properly?

ls -l

and the results come back like:  rwx - r x - r x ???  It is owned by your
site admin?  and the group is whatever group it should be?

Try running the app locally perl -w <filename>

Is it a Perl Script? Or some other type of script?  Can you actually read
it? Or do u need to compile it?  I found out if it is a compiled program,
you need to setup a ScriptAlias directive in your srm.conf file.  That got
it working for me.
