website root directory and phweb

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 13:47:20 -0000

Maybe this will give a clue to whats wrong; when i use the "linkpage url" for 
"mypage.html" for example i get:

http://mysite.co.uk/cgi-bin/ä://mysite.co.uk:80/mypage.html

and page not found

where you would expect http://mysite.co.uk/mypage.html

i set logging on the cgi and it showed this in paramlog.txt:

		Location: ä://mysite.co.uk:80/mypage.html

Ive no idea why it shows ä instead of http.

hi,

yes the virtual directory is under wwwroot, the physical directory is 1 level higher in inetpub

For stylesheets we do something like this:

	Page testpage html application main_Cen htmlstylesheet "newstyle.css"

It will only locate newstyle.css if its in the cgi-bin, not if its in wwwroot.

It may depend on how you reference your stylesheet, images, etc. Can you attach an example of such a reference? I gather that your virtual cgi-bin directory is under wwwroot. I'm nit sure that it makes a difference, but where is it physically?

well the ph documentation and our site administrator both agree it is usual to have a virtual directory for the cgi so i dont think that can be the problem. Ive logged a support call.

Hi all,

Im having a problem with phweb 8.40d (server is vms 7.3-2 and the webserver is IIS on windows 2000).

Phweb is looking for files in the cgi-bin directory rather than the main website directory
e.g. the stylesheet and images directory and relative urls; it looks for them in the cgi-bin rather than in wwwroot.

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?  Things to check?

Im guessing at the moment is it could be because the cgi-bin is a virtual directory set within wwwroot but is actually somewhere else.  anyone had a problem with virtual directories?

tia
