CGI script errors / browser attempts to download file
list Paul McIlrath
Hi, Thanks everyone for your recommendations on my first noob post. They really helped. I decided to create a new thread for this problem. " http://<MYSERVERNAME>/hobbit/bb.html is working normally and brings me up to the normal "Main View" screen. The "All Non-Green" screen works as well. But everything else....and I mean everything else....my browser tries to download a file rather than run the cgi script to generate the new page/report. I checked and made sure my hobbit-server.cgi file points at the /usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin directory, and I also made sure that my http.conf file points at the right cgi-bin for hobbit-cgi and cgi-secure for hobbit-seccgi. Im stumped! Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Paul </PRE>The information contained in this e-mail message may be confidential and protected from disclosure.

Check your webserver. Make sure you have AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in your httpd.conf and also that you have the ExecCGI option in your hobbit-cgi and hobbit-seccgi sections of the httpd.conf Trent

This is a problem with your Web server setup. It needs to be configured to properly handle each file type. Check the Hobbit documentation (tips and tricks? Installation? I forget where) for the bit about how to set up your Web server. If you have Apache, then Apache needs to know that <whatever>.cgi is a CGI, etc.

RESOLVED Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions. I tried them all and still no luck, then just by dumb luck, I vi'ed the shell scripts in /usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin and /usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-secure. They were all pointing at /opt/hobbit/server/etc/ rather than /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/etc I modified each shell script and everything works now. As to why the shell scripts were screwed up......well I have tried several installs...the first into /opt/hobbit.....so either I missed something when I was cleaning up between installs, or...I also noticed that the hobbit-4.2.0 directory and its contents were not owned by root.root so maybe that had an effect. Thank you again for all your suggestions...it was luck not skill on my part that brought me to the answer.
