Check catalog.cfg if the Variable CGI_URL is "/cgi-bin/pgsql_prod.cgi"
(possibly "/pgsql_prod.cgi" in your case), it should not start with "http:"
(it is no URL, it is a URI as far as I understand the acronyms)
Check minivend.cfg whether the catalog definition reasonably matches the
example for simple.
If everythin checks out, your webserver config may not set some environment
vars correctly.
Save this script as cgi on webserver in cgi directory:
======== snip =========
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN\"><HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>environment</TITLE><Meta http-equiv=\"content-type\"
content=\"text/html;CHARSET=iso8859-1\"></HEAD><BODY><TABLE cellspacing=2
cellpadding=2 border=1><tr><th>variable</th><th>value</th></tr>";
foreach (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
print "<TR><TD>$_</TD><TD>$ENV{$_}</TD></TR>\n";
}
print "</TABLE></BODY></HTML>";
exit;
======== snip =========
and call with:
http://www.pgsql.com/cgi-bin/environment.cgi/test?param
in the display you should have:
PATH_INFO /test
QUERY_STRING param
REQUEST_URI /cgi-bin/environment.cgi/test?param
SCRIPT_NAME /cgi-bin/environment.cgi
If any of these are set to different values, you may need to check your
server configs. In your case the SCRIPT_NAME may be set wrong, this
happened to me when one of my providers upgraded to apache 1.3.6.
Good luck, Frank
