cgi:irc

alexzarach

I'm putting cgi:irc on my site as an 'experiment'. How do I install it and set it up?

alexzarach

Still wont work. :(

Q

Any details of the trouble? Error messages, etc.?

alexzarach

None, what's meant to be the cgi scrgpt is just jumbled up text and symbols-not even any code.

Do you have perl installed on your host?

alexzarach

yes.

I'm guessing that your script isn't set to be executable, and the www server is just reading the file, you may have to fiddle with some htaccess and chmod some files.

alexzarach

there is no htaccess file.

BOD

I'm saying you may need to add one to make sure that the www server allows the files to be executed.

alexzarach

OK, I'll try now.

alexzarach

It still doesn't work. I'm on a mac with abyss web server-cgi and perl are installed on it. Can it work on a mac?

Q

It should be platform independent (shouldn't it?).

alexzarach

It works on all Unix systems, like os x. Anything I'm doing wrong?

alexzarach

Anyone?

alexzarach

What am I doing wrong? I haven't given up.

Q

How should we know with only that for information?

I don't think you've stated yet what system you're running this on. What's you're webserver? Etc.?

I'm on http://127.0.0.1:8001 or http://zarach.ath.cx:8001. For when the Abyss server is down (my images are hosted on my mac), my cgi:irc installation only appears as text. Apparently I have php 4/5? and Perl installed on it.

Acmax

if abyss doesnt work , get apache.

here is one with perl for cgi irc ,
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

did you put the header in the script to point to perl ?
for example ?
#!D:/Projects/netserver/beta5/final/bin/stable/perl/bin/perl

what about mime types ?

stitch

try thorowing the cgi:irc files in the cgi-bin directory. If that works, you create a script directory.

alexzarach

I'm now downloading apache, I'll see if it helps.
