 I tried installing fossil as CGI on Apache 1.3 and there is some

 Firstly I had to use a script like this:

 #!/path-to-fossil/fossil cgi
 repository: /path-to-repo.fossil

 Note the cgi parameter. Without that the server would just report an
 internal error.


Is your script named something.cgi? i've sometimes had problems (on Apache
1.3) with the web server requiring that extension (but it is configurable).


 Is the cgi feature well tested?


i host more than a dozen sites with it and haven't had any problems at all.


 Did anybody else try with Apache 1.3? I don't have access to the
 server logs so I am not sure what is going on when something breaks.


Apache 1.3 has been obsoleted since... 8 years (April 6, 2002, according to
Google). Perhaps it's time to change hosters?

Well, if it required the suffix it would just serve the source, right?

I somewhat like this setup as it uses a central server and a bunch of
quite powerful machines that run the scripts. And I can see why they
did not upgrade the server. Apache 1.3 works, 2.0 does not offer any
additional features for CGI configurations and it is not patched to
support this setup.

Still putting the repository elsewhere is an option.

Thanks

The whole fossil website at http://www.fossil-scm.org/ is an instance of
fossil running as CGI.  (But not off of Apache 1.3.)

I use it extensively, proxied behind Apache2 (to enforce ssl access) and before 
Fossil supported ssl I used stunnel fror the same purpose.
