I figured out myself what caused the problem mentioned in my last post. I'd like to share this information just in case someone else stumbles across it. The problem was:
I'm facing a problem now with running fossil using a CGI script using the small web server http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/artifact/0f78441e2de25641b0. The problem is as follows: I can access the fossil website of my repo using http://localhost/cgi-bin/fossil.cgi but as soon as I try to create e.g. a wiki page I see just a blank page in the web browser (as soon as I entered the name I would like to have for the new wiki page and clicked on "create"). Same is true for ticket generation. When I try the same using "fossil ui" everything works fine. ---> It seems that this behavior was again caused by the chroot jail. For some reason fossil seems to search for the /tmp folder in it's jail and panics if it is not there. After I created a folder "tmp" in the chroot jail everything works as expected. Strange is though that no file or anything is created there. Seems that just this folder must be there. Anyway, my setup now works as I need it. Thank you very much for all your help! _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
