Thanks for the tip! Hopefully this thread will continue to evolve to
a working installation and other MacPerl users will benefit!
Changing the main_menu.html form action line back to its original...
{{cgi}} revealed the following:
a) I found this line in the reg_system.cgi file ...
my $cgi = $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME};
and determined that the variable "SCRIPT_NAME" needed to be defined
in my Macperl preferences... so I went into Macperl, selected the
preferences under the Edit menu, then selected "Environment" within
the dialog window that popped up and created a new variable
"SCRIPT_NAME" and selected my acgi file and entered
http://www.mydomainname.com/cgi-bin/reg_system.acgi
Now, I expected to see this url appear in place of {{cgi}} when the
main_menu.html page was displayed.
What I see is: <Form action="" method="Post">
Unfortunatly the variable is not being inserted as it should be. Any
ideas?
My first thought was that the cgi wasn't working at all. However,
the cgi IS displaying the main_menu.html with a broken Logo.gif.
This, I think, is important because this tag is not part of the
original main_menu.html source code and could only come from the cgi
script.
Also, a new phenomenon! before I would get a "insufficient data
error" (see previous message) Now, I just get the main_menu.html
document reloaded and each time I submit a possible domain I get the
same main_menu.html page reloaded...
-Thanks in advance
