Hi, List.

 I want to run *.yaws and *.cgi files via erlang-web.

 Well, actually, I want to be able to serve fossil 
 [http://fossil-scm.org] repositories from within
 erlang-web (using yaws as backend), I'm not particularly
 stuck on using *.yaws and *.cgi though that is how I ran
 fossil using yaws alone.
 
 
 If I am only running yaws then I can do, e.g. the following
 to display (and work with) a fossil repository :

   /usr/local/etc/yaws/yaws.conf

     ...
     
     <server localhost>

          port    = 80
          listen  = 127.0.0.1
          docroot = /usr/local/var/yaws/www

          appmods = <cgi-bin, yaws_appmod_cgi>

     </server>
---

  /usr/local/var/yaws/www/block_clone.yaws


     <erl>

       out(Arg) -> 

          yaws_cgi:call_cgi(Arg,
             "/usr/local/var/yaws/www/cgi-bin/block_clone.cgi").

     </erl>

---

  /usr/local/var/yaws/www/cgi-bin/block_clone.cgi


    #!/usr/local/bin/fossil 
    repository: /tmp/cloned_repositories/block_clone.fossil

--


  and, when pointing browser at 

   http://localhost/block_clone.yaws/

  I get the fossil index page, and all the links work.

---

 and, for Erlang Web, I have tried various combinations
 of, e.g.


  templates/fossil.html


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>

<head>
  <title>Fossil repositories</title>
  
  <script src="cgi/foo.cgi" type="text/html"> </script>
</head>
</html>


              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      also changed this to "fossil.yaws"
      which calls the cgi file

 The cgi file is executable.  The repository is readable.
 The cgi directory is a subdirectory of templates directory.


 So, how can I serve fossil repositories via erlang-web whether
 with *.yaws and cgi or not.  Of course, using yaws as the
 backend web server for Erlang Web.



 I tried similar configuration and various combinations
 in dispatch.conf, e.g. {static, "^/fossil$", "fossil.yaws"}.
 but the best I can get is no error and a blank page in
 the browser.

 Please if you have a suggestion (especially one you have
 used successfully) to run *.yaws and *.cgi within
 Erlang Web, please provide it.

 If there is online documentation I have not found it so
 a pointer to docs which may help out would be appreciated
 as well.


 Also, the above is the simplest case of delivering a single
 fossil repository.  I actually plan to provide multiple
 repositories (which I have done using yaws only) as described here, 
 http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/wiki?name=Cookbook#CGI


 I think I am missing something basic because even a simple
 hello.cgi gives a blank page

  #!/bin/bash
  echo "hello"
