Re: CSS file not being found

Agreed! I started looking at it and gave up/

One scriptaliasmatch is this one -

ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/login(.*) /qsys.lib/cgi400.lib/login.pgm$1

This won't work - anything you put in the URL after "login" gets put where the "$1" is - so this URL -

http://your-ip:your-port/loginvern

ends up looking for

/qsys.lib/cgi400.lib/login.pgmvern

There's no such object type in a library, so it won't work.

The cgi conversion mode directive - I'm inclined to put that inside the container where CGI is being used - not globally - but I guess it can be there.

I prefer also to put the ScriptAliasMatch directives next to the <directory> container section where it applies.

Just me on a Friday!

Maybe all these <directory> containers are for permissions. A lot of them point to libraries and give all access to everyone who is in the browser - I don't know that any of that is needed, but someone else will have to weigh in on that. In a fairly simple setup, once in the CGI program, system object security takes care of all that.

Wow!! Who created that monster? You have some seriously complicated alias set-ups there. I don't know enough about your app, but I can't see any reason for some of them, apart from (assuming your CGI pgms are in the cgi400 library):

ScriptAliasMatch /cgi-bin/(.*).pgm /qsys.lib/cgi400.lib/$1.pgm

It looks like the aliasing is forcing everything to "seem" like it is in CGI-BIN, which prevents the use of relative paths (i.e. without the '/'). Normally you would not do that with a CGI app. Your aliasing would force calls to CGI programs to be in a specific library, but allow other resources (static html, css, js etc) to be referenced relative to the current directory - without a preceding '/'.

It does seem like the file was in the wrong place also. I couldn't really work out from the information provided where it was, so assumed it was correctly located, but was being scuppered by the aliasing.

I'm confused by this reply, because the directory-relative link was clearly one of the two problems (the storage location of the CSS file being the other).
