I'm trying to set up File Manager 1.0 for my site ( Apache/1.3.3 (Unix))
I inquired from my ISP re CGIWrap. This is his response:
We dont run cgiwrap, but we do run suexec. This means you should not have 777 file permissions.
I set up the following:
root_dir => "/home/user/htdocs",
logfile => "/home/user/htdocs/cgi.bin/fileman/fileman.log",
password_dir => "/home/user/htdocs/cgi.bin/fileman/pass",
root_url => "http://www.mydomain.com/",
script_url => "http://www.mydomain.com/cgi.bin/fileman/fileman.cgi",
the only other option I changed is:
allowed_space => 1500
and the following permissions:
cgi.bin/fileman/pass 777
cgi.bin/fileman/fileman.cgi 755
cgi.bin/fileman/fileman.log 666
but my htdocs directory is 755
I call the script with http://www.mydomain.com/cgi.bin/fileman/fileman.cgi
but it hangs. It reads 835 kb and hangs, never prints to screen any output other than
the FileManager header bar with
Back File Manager 1.0 Root
Any ideas what is going on here? I am NOT a programmer in any way shape or form!!
I can (most of the time) follow directions. What am I doing wrong?
Is the problem with the permissions on my htdocs directory? If it is, any suggestions other than creating a subdirectory in htdocs and putting all my files there.
thanks for any help. This appears to be a really neat program. Hopefully, I can get it to work!
