Hi,

Zenon gave me a lot of kind help and it really looks like the culprit is not this 
search program but my f***ing provider. 

I have found out something quite interesting in the mean time:

It looks like that the apache does not accept a bin-file as cgi. When I rename the 
search file from search.cgi to search and call it via the shell I get the same stuff 
as I used too but when I call it via the browser I receive a 
Can't open template file ''!

So this is really strange is not it? I mean after all it looks to me that it can find 
the template via ssh but not via apache ...
has anyone any idea. At least I start getting some hope again ;-))

Check template file permissions. It must be available for reading
for user who is running httpd. It is usually nobody.

Hi,


I have tried 600, which is fine for the indexer and I have tried even 777 but it did 
not made any difference. After all search (and search.cgi) can read it via ssh but it 
fails via browser ...

Would it help if I gave you my httpd.conf???

I don't think httpd.conf can help. Does search.cgi displays 
correct file name when it ouput  error that template could not
be opened.

Oops - error. When you access it via ssh, it is user "wendibus" 
reading the file, while if you access it via the browser it is 
user "nobody" reading it. If the permissions of search.htm 
would be -rw--- (and everything else OK) you would get that 
precise effect. Search.htm should be -rw-r--r-- so that "nobody" 
can read it. 

In your particular case the problem is elsewhere (and the thing 
didn't work with search.htm in -rwxrwxrwx mode either), but 
anybody else reading the webboard should keep this in mind.
