How to - CGIs working in a virtual domain?
« on: October 11, 2002, 11:36:31 PM »
Urgent help needed.  Well any kind really!

I had to reinstall due to a problem I had with the HDD.  I used the 5.5 ISO, the available blade and then the 'dmc-SMEServer-5.5_Update2-pkg-2.noarch.rpm'.

Now, after patiently reinstalling the application software, I can no longer start 'http://www.europeancarsales.biz/cgi-bin/am/exec/am.cgi' -- although I can ftp to the server's subdirectory and see that the script is there, something stops the browser from seeing it and I get a HTTP 404 - File not found.  This is a cgi that sits in the '/ibays/eurocars/cgi-bin/am/exec/' subdirectory as it is part of the 'europeancarsales' virtual domain.

I have made the following files executable:(chmod 755)

/am/exec/*.*

I have make the following directories and files writable:(chmod 777)

/am/data/
/am/data/*.*
/am/homepages/
/am/homepages/images/
/am/listings/
/am/listings/images/

There must be something I can reset so that I can reach or use these CGIs again... anyone got any ideas before I finally give up and throw the whole damn lot in the river?

I have found 'Virtual Host cgi-bin configuration incorrect' bug information and as I have installed 'dmc-SMEServer-5.5_Update2-pkg-2.noarch.rpm' I would have thought this should correct the problem, but apparently not.  Can anyone help me here?
