Depending on the posted data and the CGI settings, the CGI will perform whatever task.
[Problem] After calling the CGI about 2 dozen times, I get a server error: Error in /cgi-bin/jumpto The following internal error has occurred: Too many files Error Number = 67 Error log shows nothing, and can find no info on error #67. I was fetching a free file number and using that to access the file. I then switched to using file #1, and locking it for read and write. Same results. Also, once I get this error, shutting down Apache (Running as a service) and re launching it, I start over with the CGI running properly untill it is called about another 2 dozen times. >How-To-Repeat: http://www.digispec.com Click on the "GO" graphic button that calls a redirect CGI. Just keep clicking on the "GO" button and you will see what I mean, if it hasnt already "crashed". If I cant resolve the problem promptly, I will be forced to down this feature. It is not limited to this one CGI, since once the "crash", I can try to launch an entirely different CGI (.exe written in VB w/VB4CGI) and I get the same error right off. Please respond, Iam despirate! >Fix: I dont even know what is causing it! There is *absolutely no* docs or info on the site (apache.org) detailing *any* internal server errors or messages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
