bldowalk displays blank page

Post by clintonG »

When loading the following http://MYSERVER/scripts/texis.exe/webinator/dowalk only displays a blank page but for a Thunderstone copyright notice displayed in the upper right corner of the page linking back to the thunderstone.com domain.

This is my second install. I haven't been able to use all of the defaults during installation.

The subject should read dowalk 'not' bldowalk.

View the source of that page to see if there are any errors reported.
You may need to compile dowalk by hand from a command prompt in the directory where dowalk is installed:
INSTALLDIR\texis -C dowalk
or make the directory containing dowalk full control for everyone.

As reported, attempting to load: http://myMachineName/SCRIPTS/texis.exe/ ... tor/dowalk does not show anything but Thnuderstone copyright notice in the upper right of the displayed page. Viewing the source of that displayed page only shows HTML required to output the copyright information.

Loading http://web2/SCRIPTS/texis.exe/CGI-BINWe ... dowalkwill output the text of the uncompiled dowalk script.

Successfuly recompiled via...

G:\Thunderstone\texis -C F:\metromilw\webinator\dowalk

but loading http://web2/SCRIPTS/texis.exe/CGI-BINWebinator/dowalk still displays text.

Made the directory containing dowalk full control for everyone and tried again but still cannot get admin interface.

The source might have contained error messages within HTML comments. Check your INSTALLDIR\texis\vortex.log for error messages.

You can probably also rename INSTALLDIR\texis.cnf to something else so that the errors will be reported to the web browser instead of just the log file.

You can try deleting the dowalk.vtx file once before accessing dowalk from the web browser.
