I have the script altavista.cgi, but all when I execute this, in telnet, it return "(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)" and in Netscape, return a 500 internal error.... What do I need to run this script or... What do I make!?

Tks

Just type it in your browser...

ie. www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/altavista.cgi

or

when you use forms like the search engines when you search for a word...

<form action="http://www.yourname.com/cgi-bin/altavis.cgi"....

You can modify the contents of altavista.cgi to customize the results page...

You should be ready to go...

But...

If I simple execute it by for example, http://www.mydomain.com/altavista.cgi, it return a 500 internal error server. Have you another copy of this script?

make sure the permision is correct...

chmod 755

make sure the perl path is set correctly

#!/usr/bin/perl

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

#!/path/to/perl

I do not know how to execute in telnet or if this script is capable to execute in telnet...

You should be able to get this script to work...

The download path is:

http://gossamer-threads.com/scripts/misc/altavista.cgi

My copy of this script is just like the download at the moment so it probably will not do any good...

There are also a bunch of posts on example sites and how to get it to work with current search features in links...

Tks!
Hehe...
The first line of cgi were wrong:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl5.0005

I have changed to

#!/usr/bin/perl

and now it's 100%

You can find it at:

It was down for a couple days as it broke during the switch to a new server, but is back up.

Cheers,

Hello Alex !

I somehow like this forum very very much. Its live!!! It really works.

Just written this request and within less than half an hour comes an email and Altavista.cgi as an attachment! Nice of Juliano to send it.

Here you also showed the location. Nice.

Sitting down in Germany, receiving emails from Brazil and answers from Canada from you, I beleive this Forum is a wonderful platform to work togather with.

Thanks Alex anyway. It was really really nice of you.

Any idea why I get No Results found? When I run the program from my server I doesn't seem to work. However if I run the program from the command line it works??? It prints the output to STDOUT. But If I run the cgi from a browser I always get Error: No Results found.

I have this problem on a small script I wrote to do something similar. It works fine from the Command prompt but not the web browser. I checked the <CR> thing and that doesn't seem to be an issue.

THe scripts generally run, but they do not print the $output to the browser.

Thanks,

javera,

check to see if LWP is installed properly...check to see if /etc/protocol exists and the appropriate protocols are keyed in the file
Does your nph-verify.cgi give you an error that it cannot determine protocol in links v2?

Hope this gives you ideas...I am no sys admin, just like to troubleshoot...
