Firstly - thanks to ppl on this forum that have helped in previous problems - I have had three questions - and two were solved directly through you guys ;O) I have another though - see if you can help.. Apache, which was pritty easy.... Now that I am running web - I have only really had to make a couple of changes, server side wise, to get the web pages to do what I need to do... For instance a link from the base www directory, /usr/local/share/doc/apache/, to the cgi-bin /usr/local/www/cgi-bin.default and enabling all .shtml files to be executed SSI style by changing /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf file to include stuff like Options +Includes AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml Now for the question... The next thing I want to do is to have cgi scripts execute into html pages without the need to bring up a new window.. I have reseached a little so this is what I mean... I am wanting to get a simple cgi-hit-counter up and running on the opening page.... I have already got other cgi things working so I know CGI is working properly on the server... I can get the counter to work using html code - <AHREF="cgi-bin/counter.pl">Dynamic page</A> , but this brings it up in a new window - WHICH I DON'T WANT.. In the example code - it says you can put the following line in, and cgi will execute right on that page <!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/counter.pl" --> however this does not work With further reading I found out the following.. Aparently I have to change some file with the following PATH-INFO=/.?????/???? because cgi-proxy man pages warn you that you can not use cfi-proxy to run a server-side include, the problem is that way the ncsa http server parses cgi="/cgi-bin/?????/???/" Could someone please let me know what the file and path is that contains the PATH-INFO command, so I might have a look and play around with the settings.. I believe I did a make install to the following apache /usr/ports/www/apache13/work/apache_1.3.19 I have successfully entered commands into /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf to get SSI working, this last little bit of config would make a real difference Please let me know if you can help Regards Julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
