Re: Exec cgi command not working -- WEB400

Bradley,
Thanks for the help, but that didn't work either.

The thing that confuses me the most is the path. Finding out where it is
getting /qsys.lib/citcgidev.lib/www as the path, would go a long way
towards fixing the problem.

Yes, change it to use include virtual instead of exec CGI.
that manual is getting a little out of date. I think I
wrote it for the classic web server IIRC.

Bradley,
Yes, I am using Apache on V5R4.

Actually this is part of your tutorial, Stone on CGIDEV2

and on page

9-13 it says:

" Because this SSI requires dynamic information (in this case, the
customer's name), a CGI program is required, which is why

this HTML

file is a template file. To embed this constant header in

displays,

use the following SSI in your other web pages: ".

Are you saying that I can now use include virtual instead?

Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have a program

that writes

information to a file. I have 12 divisions that will use

this program.

I need to change the *LIBL depending on the division so that the
information is written to the correct file for that division.

In researching this problem, everything I have read says I

need to;

hard code the library name, use the QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST

environment

variable or use the exec cgi command to call a program to set the
*libl. I don't think the first two will work, so that leaves the
third. I thought that if I could get it working in your tutorial, I
could then use the same logic to set the *libl for my program.
But then, like I say, I am very new to CGIDEV2 so if you or
anyone else has any other ideas of how to make this work I would
love to hear them.

Thanks,

Terry,

I assume you're using Apache

<http://archive.midrange.com/web400/200711/msg00029.html>
on a fairly recent version of the Os. If so, I

stopped using Exec directives for CGI a while ago and use include
virtual for all of them now. Try that and see if it helps.
