[cgiwrap-users] trying to track down root cause of 405 error - resource not allowed

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi all,

I dont think this would be an error due to cgiwrap, but I sure would appreciate
a "sanity" check... any and all comments sincerely appreciated.

System: Cobalt (Sun) RaQ 4i

When I try to run TFmail (nms-cgi.sourceforge.net) on my RaQ, I get the
following error message after i submit a form:

HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed

I know what the 405 means, but I dont understand it in this context. I have
looked at everything I can think of, but I still cant identify the problem.

The RaQ run all cgi programs inside "cgiwrap" - could this be the problem?

If I run the script in "debug" mode, it appears that it should work - the
example below is the output if i try to submit a form with a required field
missing. You can see the script gets to the HTML output part, BUT, if I run
this same script in NON debug mode, I get the 405 error?!?

Help?!?
