Re: Starting the CGI program failed

Hi, Brad,

What VvRrMm of the OS is this on?

The only thing I can think of is, as the very first thing that CGI program does, call QCMDEXC to issue:

    CHGJOB LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) LOGCLPGM(*YES)

and perhaps that might help to force a job log to get created?

HTH,

Has anyone seen this error when running a CGI program using Apache:

Bad RequestStarting the CGI program failed. Could not communicate with the
CGI program.

It is happening on a program that's worked great forever.  I can't find any
details in the logs or in the job log.  I can recompile the program and it
seems to work once, then quits working again.

The return code is a 400 from the server.

The error log seems to spit this out:
ZSRV_MSG0818: Error reading request entity data, referer: xxxxxxx

The access log just reports a 400 on the request.

I can see the HTTP job ending but no job log is created.
