Topic: cgi-bin on ibays

[Tim Bynum]

I have a virtual domain using an ibay.  The vitual doamin works fine but I cannot get the cgi-bin enabled.  I am using E-Smith 4.0.1 and I followed the direction in the update post.

>CGI scripts are disabled by default in i-bays. As CGI scripts run on the e-smith >server, they should be carefully checked before enabling.

>Run the following commands (substituting the i-bay name for i-bay):
>/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop i-bay CgiBin enabled
>/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

but I still get a "The page cannot be found" message when I try to access "http://www.mydomain.xxx/cgi-bin/myscript".

I know it is not a problem with the script because it works fine in the primary web site.

Can anyone help?

I did that also.  I went into the control panel and modified and saved after I created the ibay.  The users can get to the files in the html subdirectory of the ibay (virtual domain) they just cannot access the scripts in the cgi-bin.

The listed bug refers to a bug in 4.0 which was fixed in 4.0.1, which is what Tim is using.

Actually, Tim has found a bug, which has been fixed in our
development release. It will be back-ported to 4.0.1 once
our current release is finished.

Is there a way to fix this prior to the finishing of the current release?  Is there something I can change in my configuration.  I do not mind customizing.

The fix is fairly obvious if you examine the httpd.conf fragments.

This question should now move to the developers list or please feel free to contact
e-smith technical support if you have purchased a subscription.
