Hi all, yesterday, i was testing Jaqueline's CGI tutorial in my website in JaguarPC.
Jaqueline had made a great service for the developer community, publishing this tutorial in his website. Thanks again, Jaque! :-) i got mixed results, following the steps detailed, surely because my own particular configuration in my website. These examples works fine: 1- Visitor counter 2- Random content <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/scripts2.html> but scripts that try to load a file by reference or access a stack do not work. Trying to load a reference of the file like this produces an error: -- start of example from CGI tutorial <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/scripts2.html> put "tipTemplate.txt" into theTemplateFile if there is no file theTemplateFile then put "Error: template missing" into theData else put url ("file:"&theTemplateFile) into theData -- end of example from CGI tutorial But... reading directly a file content and putting it in a variable, works just fine: #!Revolution on startup put url "file:tipTemplate.txt" into theData put offset("[*]",theData) into theStartChar put url "file:tips.txt" into theTFile put any line of theTFile into char theStartChar to theStartChar+2 of theData # write minimal set of HTTP headers to stdout put "Content-Type: text/html" & cr put "Content-Length:" && the length of theData & cr & cr put theData end startup Why this happen in my website? Looks like the file reference it's lost or misinterpreted by the engine. i suspect that something similar happens when the engine try to load a stack, like the "adresses.rev" used in the example of this page: <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/scripts3.html> How could i debug this script and know exactly what is the command or function that fails when reading or writing to reference files or stacks? Notice that i could read and write to text files inside the CGI folder. Thanks in advance! al Visit my site: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/ __________________________________________ Yahoo!
