On NT 4.0 in my CMD.EXE window, why does
e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi sample.r
product no output, but
e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi sample.r | more
produce the correct output? (My configurations etc are
listed in the message below.)
(This is an update to the message below. Read on if care to,
but the above question is the one remaining.)
It appears that the error message I am seeing from Apache is
generated if the program produces no output at all.
This leads me to believe that my Apache configuration is
correct and the only problem I have to solve is the one about
not getting any output.
My thanks to Rachid ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for suggestions
that helped me understand my Apache setup more.

Subject: [REBOL] Windows NT 4.0 / Apache / Rebol Configuration
I am running Windows NT 4.0 (I believe with SP5) with Rebol/Core
2.2.0.3.1 (which is the latest version as far as I can tell) and
Apache 1.3.9.
My goal is to get Rebol running with Apache and CGI. (I figure I
should be able to CGI working first before I move on to anything
more advanced.)
If anyone has an NT 4.0 / Apache / Rebol setup running and can
provide some help, I would appreciate it!
My script (sample.r) looks like this:
#!e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi
REBOL []
print "Content-Type: text/plain^/"
print ["Welcome to my time and date page!"
" The time and date is" now]
If I run the program using the command "e:\rebol\rebol.exe
sample.r", the Rebol console opens and the script output is
display (good).
If I run the program using the command "e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi
sample.r", the Rebol console doesn't open (good) but there is no
output to the CMD.EXE console (bad).
Based on one of the e-mails in this list, I tried "e:\rebol
rebol.exe --cgi sample.r | more". This gives me output to the
CMD.EXE console (good).
I'm assuming I need to get the "" version working before I have a
chance of getting Apache CGI working.
I have a second problem...
When I bring up http://server/cgi-bin/sample.r in the browser I
get an error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
and was unable to complete your request.
The error log says:
(2)No such file or directory: couldn't spawn child process:
e:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/sample.r
If I cut and paste that pathname to the CMD.EXE window and change
the forward slashes to back slashes and put quotes around the
whole thing, I can do a DIR on it and see the file exists.
I have set up the file associations as follows:
E:\>assoc .r
.r=rfile
E:\>ftype rfile
rfile=e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi "%1" %*
If I remove the --cgi from the above command and type "sample.r"
in the CMD.EXE window, the Rebol script runs in a Rebol window as
expected. If I put the --cgi back in and type "sample.r" in the
CMD.EXE window, I get the behavior I mentioned above where the
output doesn't show up.
Now, it seems from the error log that there is something else
wrong with my configuration such that, even if I get the script
output to appear, Apache still won't run the script. I can put
Perl scripts in the cgi-bin directory and they work in the
browser.
Thanks for any help!
