Re: [htdig] *file download* /instead of search results..

[<t_...@ya...>]

Hi Jim

        Thanks for your help, yes after changing the *htsearch* to *htsearch.cgi* it started working...

        Though it is not the *htdig* question, but could you please give me some hints , that why apache is not accepting the executable without *extension*? And what change i need to do in the apache configuration ? So that i can tell the Apache Admin for that?

       This is the  configuration i found in the apache *httpd.conf* file..

-----------------------------------------------------------------

<VirtualHost  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAdmin admin@server

DocumentRoot /home/sites/search.domain.com/web
Servername search.domain.com
ServerAlias www.search.domain.com
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .html
AddType text/html .shtml
AddType text/html .htm .html
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml .html
Options All +Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI -Indexes
</VirtualHost>


----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks

Tinni

Generally when a web server is configured to allow CGIs to run from
arbitrary directories, it keys off of file extensions (e.g. .cgi, .pl,
etc.) Do the other CGIs that you are using have such file extensions? If
so, you might want to try renaming htsearch so that it has one of those
extensions.
