My beginning Perl scripts had the basic "fill this out" and post it to a .txt file. I then updated to 1.30, and had some reconfiguring to do because of the "virtual only" config. for some time I never used this function (the pages display fine). When I wanted to update a perl script I tested an input and received the error "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /cgi-bin/form1.pl" >How-To-Repeat: http://panther.bsat.com (placed on our net as a test) the "Survey form" also the search engine displays the perl script but does not run it.
>Fix: have checked/modified paths, used alias setups, verified rights, worked with virtual hosts updates. Probably a .conf error or change in 1.3 I can't fathom >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.
