I need to make the script think that jump.cgi is in the root instead of the cgi bin.

SO

I just changed the path in links.cgf. Replaced $db_cgi_url with $build_root_url

I built the site but the script looks for jump.cgi at the cgi url. Why is that?

Do you have a plan for getting a script to work outside of the cgi-bin?

Assuming you do (which I can't imagine), did you change this line in links.cfg:


Dan

Thanks for the reply Dan!

I did change this in links.cfg:
$build_jump_url = $db_cgi_url . "/jump.cgi"; # URL of jump script.

To:
$build_jump_url = $build_root_url . "/jump.cgi"; # URL of jump script.

This is how the file is on the server. I ran the build command afterwards and opened the page. I cleared the browser's cache and hit releoad even.. the script still links to the $db_cgi_url instead of $build_root_url.

Dan,

You can execute cgi and perl scripts outside of the standard cgi-bin directory. It depends on the server's permissions. BUT it can be done.

Newbie,


You also have to change all the links in your template files for the link to properly show up.

Then re-build your index via the Build All option in the LINKS MANAGER.

Oh, I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out, not that I'm likely to ever need that knowledge.
