Re: [htdig] *file download* /instead of search results..

[Tinni]

Hi Jim         Thanks for your help, yes after changing the *htsearch* to *htsearch.cgi* it started working...         Though it is not the *htdig* question, but could you please give me some hints , that why apache is not accepting the executable without *extension*? And what change i need to do in the apache configuration ? So that i can tell the Apache Admin for that?        This is the  configuration i found in the apache *httpd.conf* file.. ----------------------------------------------------------------- <VirtualHost  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot /home/sites/search.domain.com/web Servername search.domain.com ServerAlias www.search.domain.com AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .html AddType text/html .shtml AddType text/html .htm .html AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml .html Options All +Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI -Indexes </VirtualHost> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Tinni

Generally when a web server is configured to allow CGIs to run from
arbitrary directories, it keys off of file extensions (e.g. .cgi, .pl,
etc.) Do the other CGIs that you are using have such file extensions? If
so, you might want to try renaming htsearch so that it has one of those
extensions.
