The counter script is executed by all documents in the ~user hierarchy, but when called from a file in the DocumentRoot hierarchy, is interpreted only as a comment.
This did not occur when using v1.1.1. >How-To-Repeat: At http://www.cs.earlham.edu/index.html, view the source and you will see the embedded CGI as a comment. At http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~cem/homepage.html you will see a counter at the bottom of the page that calls the same script with the same exact syntax. >Fix: I don't; if the server isn't even flinching at an embedded exec statement and is just spitting it out as a comment, seems like there's something pretty wrong there >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
