help!!!!!!!!

Post by Thunderstone »



I am using Webinator for Linux, I can not get it installed, I always get
permission denied from the get go.
I have tried a manual install (file by file).
My domain is located on a ISP server (Linux) and I do have my own cgi-bin
directory for CGI mail forms and such. Here is just on error trying to
index the sight:

cyberspy:~/pubwww/cgi-bin$ gw -fdoc -fhlp http://www.fladvyp.com
bash: ./gw: cannot execute binary file.

I have full access to my own area on the server........I am lost, and i
must admit I am no Linux (unix) expert. In fact in most case I have not a
clue. I can write basic CGI scripts ( non-perl) and godd html tags.
But in this area I am lost.

I do have to use Fetch to upload the files to the server.

Any help, anyone, anyone?

Thanks
Michael McBee

I had a similar problem when I used Fetch. The files had to be
transferred as raw data instead of binary before it would work.

This message is your operating system saying that the file you are trying
to execute is not the correct type for the system. Perhaps you downloaded
the wrong version for your os. Download again and get the right version.

Linux ELF executables will not run on an a.out system.
Linux a.out exectables may run on an ELF system if the system is configured
for it.

If you don't know what you have, get the version you didn't get last time.
To find out what version you have (assuming you have a homogeneous system)
run the command:
file /etc/init
or
file /sbin/init
If it says something like:
/sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable
you have ELF. If it says something like:
/sbin/init: Linux/i386
you probably have a.out.

Also, we do not currently support Linux on non-intel platforms like DEC Alpha
AXP, and Sparc.

I got the following from running the command:
file /sbin/init
/sbin/init: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)

Which version of Webinator should I download?

Thank you
