[fossil-users] Problem with Fossil and CGI
Hello I'm trying to get Fossil to work with CGI using Hiawatha webserver. I'm using the following CGI script: #!/usr/bin/fossil repository: /var/www/fossil/test.fossil When I access it /fossil.cgi I, my browser now says it is at /fossil.cgi/index and I get an 404. The following test cgi script works fine #!/bin/bash echo Content-Type: text/plain echo echo Hello world wide web. fossil server test.fossil works fine. I'm using fossil version [9816a66a52] 2010-01-27 15:52:57 UTC Thanks ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

I'm browsing it on a computer running Windows, the server is Linux. Maybe Firefox decides that the line-feed should be preceeded by a carriage return? Not that it matter for this script.

Re: [fossil-users] Problem with Fossil and CGI
Thank you very much for your help. It was indeed not configured correctly. An option, EnablePathInfo was disabled by default. Enabling it seems to have solved.

That shows that either Hiawatha is not doing CGI correctly or that you have Hiawatha configured incorrectly. For the URL above, it should run the script at test.cgi then set the PATH_INFO environment variable to /index Richard Hipp wrote: 2010/11/20 Søren Enevoldsen senevoldse...@gmail.com mailto:senevoldse...@gmail.com mailto:senevoldse...@gmail.com mailto:senevoldse...@gmail.com The output I get is: And, what output do you get for http://.../test.cgi/index; ? -- Hello world wide web.

Re: [fossil-users] Problem with Fossil and CGI
The developer of Hiawatha suggested that using URL rewriting might be a better method than PATH_INFO. What is your thoughts on that? ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

PATH_INFO is a very, very common requirement for CGI programs. In Apache and Lighttpd (at least) it 'just works'. Even in Hiawatha it worked fine once you turned it on. It's true that (e.g.) PHP frameworks tend to rely on URL rewriting for prettier URLs, but URL rewriting is done differently on every server. For integrating a CGI program into just about any web setup with minimal configuration changes, PATH_INFO wins easily. -- Joshua Paine LetterBlock: Web applications built with joy http://letterblock.com/ 301-576-1920 ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
