My mapping is:
ns_param map "GET / /usr/local/aolserver/server/server1/pages"
ns_param map "POST / /usr/local/aolserver/server/server1/pages"

Subject: [AOLSERVER] "ns_parm cgi
/usr/local/aolserver/server/server1/pages" invalid? workaround?
I have a cgi app. under apache that works perfectly.
However, all the cgi calls are of the following form:
http://www.foo.com/foo1.cgi?name1=arg1
Each subsequent page is generated with embedded hyperlinks of this form. It
is possible to convert it all to the form:
(http://www.foo.com/cgi-bin/foo1.cgi?name1=arg1 - however, doing so could be
painful and would probably require getting my awk/sed or perl book out.)
So, I tried to map config.tcl with the entry:
ns_parm cgi /usr/local/aolserver/server/server1/pages (I realize that the
documentation somewhere says not to do this, but is there another
workaround?)
This seems to work, except the gif/jpg files don't show up.
The server log says: "execv() error....". Is the nscgi module getting
confused?
Of course, for fun, I put in the following mapping:
ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/adp"
ns_parm map "/*.gif"
ns_parm map "/*.jpg"
The execv error goes away, the access.log says status code is 200 (ie. page
was served OK), but the link is still broken.
This is my first foray into AOLserver, as you can tell. I'm probably
violating some fundamentals, but my app. works in apache when I configure it
to use cgi at the / level. Can I do this with AOLServer without too much
pain?
Thanks,
Sanju.
