Summary: ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME' not set correctly
Initial Comment:
Take a look at: http://www.arsdigita.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=000Z6o,
where various respondents suggest that problems installing cvsweb demonstrate the
AOLserver may not be setting SCRIPT_NAME correctly.

I'm having the same problem. The incorrect value for
SCRIPT_NAME is keeping aolserver from working with mailman.

Here are two ways to get at _exactly_ the same file in _exactly_ the same copy of
cvsweb:
http://samantha.unet.brandeis.edu:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/portals/portals.info?r1=1.1.1.1
http://samantha.unet.brandeis.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/portals/portals.info?r1=1.1.1.1
The former is aolserver 3.2+ad10, the latter is Apache 1.3.14.
The link to "Diff to previous 1.1" is broken on the former but not the latter.
Is this a known weirdness in get vars or path_info in aolserver? Were workarounds
necessary for cvs.arsdigita.com? Could you post them?

I noticed the same thing; here is the note I wrote to our folks who use cvsweb when I
fixed it:
The script was doing this:
($scriptname = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}) =~ s|^/?|/|;
$scriptname =~ s|/+$||;
to get the name of the script being executed. But instead of /cgi/cvsweb.cgi, which is
what it should have been getting, it was getting /cgi/cvsweb.cgi/{file being viewed}
instead. This resulted in the filename being doubled in many URLs, since it was being
appended to this string.
My fix was to comment out the above and just do
$scriptname = "/cgi/cvsweb.cgi";
instead. I have no idea why this is required; all I can think of is that AOLserver
sets the SCRIPT_NAME variable differently (and incorrectly) from Apache.
