Hi,
In my WIN Nt, i have a Apache server running and there is a CGI
perl application located in a separate folder (c:\mycgi) other than
the default apache cgi-bin folder. In httpd conf file, i changed the
document root as well as <directory > stanzas to point to c:\mycgi.
The problem is when i run the cgi application, some pages fails to
send request to a cgi program which has its action url generated
by variables. On debugging i found that the action url is coming up
with absolute path to the target cgi program instead of relative path
due to failure to split the url upto the last slash. Below is the code
parts,
if (!defined $nexturl || $nexturl eq "") {
# Sets nexturl to be argv0, stripping everything up to and
# including the last slash.
$0 =~ m:[^/]*$:;
$nexturl = $&;
}
<FORM action=$nexturl method=$method>
.......
this is one of the statement is CGI.pl file.
As seen above, the $0 =~ m:[^/]*$:; doesn't seem to work as the
resulting page is showing it as,
<FORM action="c:\mycgi\enterMy~1.cgi" method=$method>
You could also observe that enterMyDetails.cgi has been truncated
in WIN NT to enterMy~1.cgi.
Please help me out in solving the above problems.
Thanking You,
