error on editor login
When a editor logins into a systems
everything works ok:You have been successfully logged into the system.

Click here to "enter your editor".

But when he clicks on enter your editor or
on any link ,he gets this error:


Oops, we had the following problem: We don't seem to have a category by the name 'cgi-bin/maintain.cgi?d=1&s=ebaf1622b9989a0138b984960'.

Hi Oliver,

Can you email me a URL I can try?

Cheers,

If you are using dynamic pages, you must not use "/" as where static pages are built, you must put them in "/pages" or "/links" or some other subdirectory that is different then where your cgi's are stored.

Changing this will fix things.

Cheers,

Alex

I am having the same problem that Oliver was having. I found this post, and I off of my root directory I made 2 directories.

dircgi
That contains all of the cgi and admin.

dir
Where the pages are built.

But when I go into my editor it says:

This is what my url looks like:

http://www.mysite.com/dircgi/page.cgi?g=cgi%2Fmaintain.cgi%3Fd%3D1%26s 3D81eccbe9a8e787cf2c026dd94&d=1&s=81eccbe9a8e787cf2c026dd94

I think there may be a bug in page.cgi.

Ok, let me rephrase it a bit better.

Your pages directory can _not_ be a subset of your cgi-bin directory.

So if you have you scripts in dircgi, then put your pages in pages and you'll be fine. It's just that one can't be a subset of the other. =)

Cheers,

Alex

I was getting a similar error on some directories and was already using "/pages" as the build directory in dynamic mode. This was also outside the cgi-bin dir. I turned the dynamic mode off and it now finds the directory fine. I'm not sure what I've gained or lost by switching off dynamic, and I'm not sure if I've fixed the problem or have just avoided it in a round about way?
