I wasn't clear! (I've been working all night on this so it's understandable.)
I have all the logic I need.... I just want fossil to behave like it would at a terminal prompt, rather than acting like a CGI... the complication is that I am calling it from a CGI! But removing all the environment variable mostly solves the problem. The CGI is also setuid, and I'm wondering if that could explain some of the permission problems I'm seeing... in particular fossil says: Fossil internal error: repository does not exist or is in an unreadable directory when it really isn't. So I changed the permissions on the directory to 777 and now I get: Fossil internal error: read permission denied for repository Fossils/A.fossil which is equally mystifying! And there are no users defined. Obviously there is some heavy voodoo happening that I'm not tracking. For the record this is Linux.
