Hello,
Something odd is happening for me, and I was wondering if it was happening to any of you guys. Whenever I try to build my pages through the admin control panel, I get an internal error on the server. When i build the pages through telnet though, everything works fine... any suggestions on why this is happening?

A usual reason the a script will work in telnet and not from a web page is permissions. I will bet if you recheck your execution permissions you will find they are turned off.

Hope this helps

Some servers do not allow nph files to be run from the web.

Also, once you've build using telnet, the ownership will be to your own username, instead of NOBODY or WEB, so you will most likely have trouble building from the web (permissions problems).

Hi,

My server is setup under cgiwrap and needs to have nph files called from nph-cgi-bin, which would have meant moving the three files out to a different directory and caused a lot more grief playing with the links.cfg, admin.cgi, admin_html.pl, etc....long list!

Instead what I did was go through the nph files...and commented certain portions that use the nph headers and forced the script to use the regular html headers.

If you define $use_html = 1 AND comment out $nph++ you should be able to walk around your problem. You'll need to do this in all three nph files.

I may be wrong about what it is actually doing but it did work for me.

I hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for your help....

I'll try out your ideas

One thing you can do if you're having trouble with any NPH script is to comment out the:

print "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n";

line in all three nph- scripts.

Good luck.
