[Xitami] using cgi with Xitami

[R O]

Vera,

First off, can you even pull up a generic webpage with your current 
settings.  In your browswer go to: http://127.0.0.1/testpage.html . Making 
certain "testpage.html" exists in your webpages root folder.  If you can't 
pull an html file then you have bigger issues with your configuration and 
most likely its not a cgi issue at all.

Second, if you can pull html normally verify your default.cfg (config) file 
and make certain your cgi path options are set correctly.

ipaddress=127.0.0.1                 #   * = use any IP address on host
webpages=htdocs                     #   Relative or full path
defaults=defaults.cfg               #   Local config file
base-host=basehost.cfg              #   Base host config (optional)
portbase=0                          #   e.g. 5000 for port 5080
priority=1                          #   1 = normal, 2=low, 3=high
background=0                        #   1 = run as daemon
refresh=60                          #   Seconds between refreshes
cgi-url=/cgi-bin                    #   What defines a CGI URL?
cgi-bin=cgi-bin                     #   Relative or full path, or '*'

In the above example, all cgi files can ONLY be refernced as such:  
www.foo.com/cgi-bin/testcgi.pl.

Also verify the CGI section itself:
[CGI]
    enabled=1                           #   CGI programs enabled?
    workdir=-                           #   Where CGI scripts run
    wildcard=0                          #   Allow /cgi-bin anywhere in URL, 
0=No, 1=Yes
    dirlist=0                           #   Allow directory listings
    passargs=0                          #   Pass arguments on command line?
    debug=0                             #   Keep input and output files
    http-fields=1                       #   Add HTTP_ header fields?
    http-prefix=HTTP_                   #   If so, what prefix?
    form-fields=1                       #   Add form fields to environment?
    form-prefix=FORM_                   #   If so, what prefix?
    form-query=0                        #   Pass form fields as 
QUERY_STRING?
    environment=1                       #   CGI gets server environment?

Goodluck.
