I'm reposting because I got no responses to this, and we're stuck. I would greatly appreciate any light you can shed on whether Zap should work with its cgi-bin like standard apache does, and how to troubleshoot problems. Ours isn't working and it isn't clear to us what else to try. --Michael Michael Olivier wrote:
Hi folks,
We've got Zope and Zap running but are having trouble with Zap's cgi-bin directory. Specifically, we're wanting to run some pcgi/bobo stuff but can't get even the perl test scripts (printenv, test-cgi) to work.
From the error log I can see that it's mapping /localhost/cgi-bin to /usr/local/zope/Zap/htdocs/cgi-bin/ -- it's looking for cgi-bin below htdocs. I'd like to have it as a sibling directory with htdocs. If I actually put it inside htdocs (htdocs/cgi-bin), it displays the scripts but doesn't execute them. I tried adding this to the zap.conf file:
<Directory /usr/local/zope/Zap/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI </Directory>
...but this didn't seem to have any effect...
Can someone advise please on how to debug this situation? Doesn't zap come preconfigured for cgi-bin use, or not?
Many thanks, Michael
