Web Wizards - what do I need?
|
|
|
| Hello,
I am very new to this and have created my web application using the data
entry wizard. I have loaded the page and table to my personal page and
created \cgi_bin as a subdirectory where I copied to it the files (.exe etc)
which the wizard created on my PC. When I go to my personal page and link
to the data entry page all is well. I click on "submit" and my browser
tries to download the .exe file.
What other programs should be installed and where?
Thanks,
Peter

| I have just tried the sample web app "signup" and followed all the
instructions in the readme file. When I enter http://Localhost/signup.htm
in my browser I get an error "the connection was refused when attempting to
connect to localhost"
any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Peter.

| A) I have clicked on "start Apache" so assume it is running.
B) How can it be configured?

| Peter: There are some good docs on the supportintermediate topics - configuring Apache. I did find that there are a few missing items, so I have attached my httpd.conf file which drops into the Apache\\conf folder. Take a look through the file, I have
indicated items changed or specific to my machine with \"************\" around them. You'll need to edit these where appropriate to specify the machine IP, and folders of executables.
Good luck.

| Thanks John,
I have been through the file, updated all the directives for my machine, but
still get the same result. I have stopped and started apache as I assume
the directives are loaded on startup.
Do you think it is still a configuration problem?

| I have done the same example, and it has worked.
I call up the .exe file from a .htm file rather than calling for the .exe file directly.

See if you can get Ken's mailing list signup forms to work ...

Also, have you associated /dbw's with dbase runtime?

| If the browser is trying to download the file then that means the
server is just passing you the file. In the case of apache the file
will not be executed unless the directives in the configuration file
tells it to do so.
Naturally, everyone responding, including myself, feel the problem
lies in the that configuration file.
If I had to guess I would say that you are missing one or both of the
following.
- The 'ExecCGI' keyword added to the 'Options' directive for the directory
- The directive 'AddHandler cgi-script .exe .dbw' for the directory
I'm mostly curious to know where exactly you are storing your dBase
web application and how you have your Directory directives set up?
