Novice Question - Search URL gives "file not found"

Post by Thunderstone »




Hi,

I downloaded webinator and installed it on our Linux system. All seemed to go perfectly. I ran gw on our intranet site, and it appeared OK, opening each page in turn. I ran gw -index, which seemed to complete OK. But when I try to access the URL http://mysite/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/search, it returns "file not found" error.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks - Rowan

More specific messages are helpful. Did you get something like
"404 not found"
or a
"Texis Web Script...
... can't open source file ..."

If it's a 404 error, you've got the wrong path to the texis cgi program or
you didn't install it into a directory that allows running of cgi programs.
Make sure you're using the url that will run texis from the cgi directory
you specified during installation. Also make sure you've used a directory
that your web server has configured for cgi programs.

If it's a web script error, make sure the path after "texis" in your
url points to the search script where you installed webinator under your
document root directory.
