Question

Hello,

I am sure this is a permission issue but I cannot track it down. Running testenv shows no errors. I am using Fedora Core 2 and have tried mozilla, firefox and IE to browse. When I go to the http://domain/twiki/bin/view page everything looks fine however if I click on any link on that main page I get a page not found error in the browsers and apache states:

script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/twiki/bin/view.cgi, referer: http://domain/twiki/bin/view

My permissions are set like this in data:

drwxrwxr-x 7 nobody users 4096 Apr 25 13:27 .

drwxr-xr-x 7 nobody apache 4096 Nov 20 00:45 ..

-rwxrwxr-x 1 nobody apache 0 Feb 1 2003 debug.txt

drwxrwxr-x 2 nobody apache 4096 Apr 25 12:56 _default

-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody apache 516 Apr 25 12:05 .htaccess

drwxrwxr-x 2 nobody apache 4096 Apr 25 13:03 Main

-rwxrwxr-x 1 nobody apache 3419 Aug 13 2001 mime.types

Answer

Did you run the testenv script?

It looks like your $scriptUrlPath in TWiki.cfg points to the file path. It should be /twiki/bin

Hi,

Thanks for the response. In the question I mentioned that I ran testenv and according to it there are no problems.

Also this is how my scriptUrlPath shows up in the TWiki.cfg:

$scriptUrlPath = "/twiki/bin";

Hello all,

So I found the problem but still do not understand how to fix it. All the links seem to point to some variation of this URL:

http://192.168.0.142/twiki/bin/view.cgi/Main/WebHome

The problem is the view.cgi should just be view. If I take the .cgi out of the url it works fine. Why is it adding the .cgi and how can I get rid of it?

I fixed the problem by commenting out this line in the TWiki.cfg:

#$scriptSuffix = ".cgi";
