Thunderstone Support Forums

I have installed Webinator and run gw to create and index the database
files. I can successfully open
http://myhost/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/search and get the Webinator
search page. But whenever I select the help button, or attempt a
search, I get the following error message.

Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright =A9 1996-1997 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.

Free Webinator Version 2.1.873833170 of Sep 10, 1997

Error

015 Incorrect host setup

I have searched through the tech support message archive, but can't
find anything of that nature. Is it possible that I have made a typo in
the registration form, or is there some other problem?

Thanks for any help.

I see that you are using a webserver called "WN". It has a primitive
implementation of CGI. It collects POST input to a file and uses popen()
to run the CGI program. This will put a shell between the webserver and
Texis. Texis needs to be run directly by the webserver.

You will have to use a different webserver to use Webinator. I might suggest
Apache or NCSA, both of which are robust and free.
