Al,
Thanks for the tip on restarting ACGI Enabler! I've encountered a few things
that are fussy in similar ways.
Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. I tried restarting, both via
quitting and via the "restart acgid" menu item. When neither of those
worked, I wondered if ACGI Enabler needs to be running before Apache starts
-- so I stopped both, started ACGI Enabler first and then started Apache ...
Didn't help.
I saw something in another Kbase document that mentioned Classic ... Does
Classic have to be installed & running for this to work smoothly? I can't
believe that it would be, as I'm running a very simple script which requires
no scripting additions.
Other things I've wondered about ...
- Special Apache configuration?
I've got the "Add Handler redirect-acgi acgi" entry in
mime_macosxserver.conf
- Permissions problems?
My test script is in a Virtual Host /cgi-bin/ with the proper ScriptAlias
config entry in my Apache conf file, and has permissions set to 755.
- .acgi vs .cgi?
I've tried both, with different results -- .acgi gives me the "can't
AESend(): -1712" error every time, and .cgi gives me a 500 error, and dumps
a bunch of entries in /var/log/system.log about WindowServer permissions.
The link you included in your response claims "NOTE: AppleScript CGIs are
fully supported with Apache running on Mac OS X Server. See the Mac OS X
Server release notes for more information."
I've looked, but can't see any mention of the "more information" in any of
my OS X Server docs. Have you seen this anywhere?
Thanks for the assist!
