Re: [Webware-discuss] error running webkit

[Marc T. <intmktg@CAM.ORG>]

aha! The problem seems to be with python scripts. My original script was a
simple sh script echoing the Content-Type and a "hello world" string. I
have then written a python script as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "hello world!"

That returned the same error message as the WebKit script. Out of
curiosity, I thought I would change the first line to:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

And it worked! Yet, both methods worked fine from the command-line and 
the path to env(1) was correct, but it didn't work from the web server. I
then proceeded to make the same change to WebKit.cgi and that worked also.

Although this is a working solution, I'd like to understand why this
problem is occuring. Are there any other Webware developers using
FreeBSD? Can someone send me their httpd.conf file for me to compare?

Thanks for the help,
Marc
