One of my colleagues is trying to install Twiki on System i (V5R4).
Twiki is a wiki that uses Perl. Downloaded and installed Perl 5.8 using
the FAQ
http://faq.midrange.com/data/cache/379.html. Runs several
scripts just fine. V5R4, cume 7107. HTTP group PTF 9. This is the
config that works:
ScriptAlias /perl-bin/ /QOpenSys/perl/webwrap/
AddType application/x-httpd-perl .pl
Action application/x-httpd-perl /perl-bin/paseweb
I'll ignore out the Twiki-related for the moment and show the httpd.conf
that does not work. I consistently get 'cannot read script output pipe.'
ScriptAlias /perl-bin/ /www/apachedft/htdocs/
<Directory /www/apachedft/htdocs>
Options +ExecCGI
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
http://my_systemi/perl-bin/hello.pl gives me the output pipe error. The
error log shows
ZSRV_MSG0107: Premature end of script headers: File name is hello.pl
RESOLVE TO LIBRARY PERL5 FAILED, EXCEPTION ID MCH3401 FOR CGI /www/a...
SEE JOBLOG FOR JOB 170077/QTMHHTTP /APACHEDFT
I don't exactly understand the reasons for the intermediary. It causes
Twiki to burp because Twiki's configuration script (perl) wants to write
to the CGI directory, which it thinks is /QOpenSys/perl/webwrap/paseweb.
(The intermediary Perl script.)
This isn't life or death, but the Windows guys might get another server
out of it.
