Hi all,


I installed a HTTP server on zOS and sofar as HTML is concerned all goes
well but I cannot manage to get a REXX CGI program to do something. The
brower (Firefox) keeps showing connecting.

In the http.conf file I defined:

Exec  CGI/* /jeds.web/cgi/*

The Rexx program is in /jedsp/web/cgi and has the attributes 755

The link on the page is:

<p><p><p><a href="../cgi/getenv.rexx">Environment/a></p>

The page is served from /jedsp/web/pub

The rexx exists in /jedsp/web/cgi

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Craig's comments are germain, plus I think your invocation
does not need the leading dots. Try:

1. In your conf file code:

  Exec /CGI/* /jeds/web/cgi/*

2. In your invocation code:

  <p><a href="/CGI/getenv.rexx">Environment/a></p>


Give this a try. Of course, you may have a bug
in your CGI program also. But let's try this first.
