this email which documents how he got around some problems with CGIWRAP.
"My ISP forces all my scripts to go through CGIWRAP which
has provided some special challenges to making Web Authenticate
work. In addition, all CGI scripts must be in my CGI-BIN
or a sub-directory thereof. The secured-CGI bin in Secure-WWW
did not work. I spent yesterday afternoon getting everything
to work.
The primary issues had to do with paths. In many areas the
path is given as relative (./path). CGIWRAP does not like
this, replace the . with the full path name
(ie http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/auth-lib", not
"./auth-lib". I also had to rename the .CGI to .PL, this requires
changes to the CGI code as well as the example pages.
The Append To error mentioned in a prior message was fixed by
giving a full path to the user.dat file.
Make sure you turn on the debugging header while working on setting this
script up. It makes a BIG difference in being able to track down
problems.
The ONLY errors I had were getting all the paths just right, and
verifying that the permissions were all correct. Check every file and
every directory.
I still have been unable to get images in my files to work properly.
Since a CGI script is required to return the image does this mean I have
to have SSI available? If so, then I may be up a paddle without a crick.
