Re: [MacPerl] Mac to Unix & back Follow-Up

[Dennis Little <dennis.j.little@lmco.com>]

Listers,

After much help, we've finally managed to get the script to work on both
Mac and Unix.  Many thanks and I'll be summarizing replies soon.  If anyone
is interested in the script and some test files, I'll be glad to pass it
along but I don't have a place to put it up for FTP and we're behind a
firewall.  For that matter, if someone without a firewall would like to put
this up for public display, I'll send it to there and everyone can visit
that site.

It turns out the primary problem was not only was the script required to be
in the cgi-bin folder, it was required to be in the RIGHT cgi-bin folder.
That's right friends - for some reason, this box has TWO cgi-bin folders
and the right one is not the one off the root.

It also has multiple log files and the correct one isn't anywhere near the
root, the web server or anything else that would seem related.

I have no idea who set up the box but it's MUCH messier than my Mac hard
drive could ever hope to be.

If all goes well, I'll be setting up a scrap Unix box (probably a Q630 or
so with FreeBSD) for testing under Unix (and learning Unix as well).  Is
Unix generally speaking Unix for most CGI testing or are there other things
that may need to be changed between SunOS, Solaris, Linux and BSD?

Thanks again,

me
