cgi aliases
i can get the script to work fine when i test it out on our servers at eastcopro.com. but testing it out on the client server at http://crewsonbrunner.com/crewsonbrunnercgi/crewson/admin.cgi, it gives me a 500 error.

On their server, I have to call a script through a cgi-alias (i.e. a program located at "http://crewsonbrunner.com/cgi-bin/mailform.pl" can only be called via "http://crewsonbrunner.com/crewsonbrunnercgi/mailform.pl"

I have tried several variants of the path in the admin.cgi file (the db.cgi file renamed) and none of them work. Is there something special i have to do to get it to call the correct path when the server uses cgi aliases?

any help is greatly appreciated

Your client may have CGI WRAPPER installed, double check the $db_script_path in the db.cgi script and your other configs in the default.cfg file.

Also, triple check file/folder permissions.

should $db_script_path be a relative path (/home/crewson/cgi-bin/crewson...) or a URL call (http://www.crewsonbrunner.com.....) ?

Does $db_script_PATH not give it away?

Also.../home/crewson/cgi-bin/crewson isn't a RELATIVE path, it is a FULL path.
