[REBOL] AW: Re:Trying to get Rebol CGI working on my website
From: dominique:microplus at: 19-Mar-2003 13:00
Hi Petr,
you'r right - the installation of Apache and Rebol isn't a problem and takes
a few minutes.
But the tests after the installation are the problem. I don't speak about
errors in
the script (wrong path and wrong syntaxe) because it is normal in this case
that it doesn't work.
I'm rather speaking about the fact, that the FIRST CGI-script doesn't always
function
even if there is no error in it and everythings is installed and declared
properly.
It seem's, I'm not the only one having the problem otherwise there wouldn't
be so
many upset programmers trying to find a solution (in the last few days I had
a
look at a few newsgroups and was amazed about the number of people having
exactly the same problems as I did).
Anyway I don't have the problem anymore - it finally worked (I already sent
some information about what I did to get it work, hoping it will help
others).
In order to get the FIRST CGI script working, I believe it can help to
follow
some rules about the shebang-line like :
- disable security with -s
- put rebol.exe rather than rebol
- I didn't notice if the extension for the script is important (but I tried
.cgi as you said)
the shebang-line could be like that:
#!C:/rebol/rebol.exe -cs
But after the FIRST CGI-script worked well, there are no problem anymore and
it works even if the declaration of the shebang-line differs from that I
wrote above :
- the security is ok
- it doesn't matter if you put rebol or rebol.exe
- the extention for the script doesn't matter (I just tried script.aaa.txt
as name !!!!)
the shebang-line could be like that:
#!C:/rebol/rebol -c

-pekr-
I'm glad to know, that it works for you - I tried it again with
#!/C/Programme/Rebol/core/rebol.exe -c
and
#!/C:/Programme/Rebol/core/rebol.exe -c
and get following error
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

ERROR.LOG (I tried with 2 different extentions)
[Wed Mar 19 12:42:30 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] couldn't spawn

[Wed Mar 19 12:49:36 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] couldn't spawn
child process: c:/programme/apache/cgi-bin/now.cgi
When I put again
#!C:/Programme/Rebol/core/rebol -c
it works again very fine
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ??????????????????????????????????
