CGI Calendar problems

dchristie

I'm having a hard time understanding this Calendar cgi script that is supplied by Interwoven. Actually the pdf that has the instrucions for use of the script doesn't help to much. Perhaps anyone that is using this script could shed some light on it? I'm on a Solaris box, T.S. 6.0

The first line of instructions tells you:
1) z_calendar.ipl – calendar cgi
Copy the contents from z_calendar.ipl over into z_calendar.cgi

----- Ok, so am I to rename the z_calendar.ipl that is supplied to z_calendar.cgi? Or am I missing something here?

Solaris
1. Place the z_calendar.ipl file in the correct location on the server side (ex. /iwhome/ httpd/iw-bin/project_dev/callouts/calendar/z_calendar.cgi

----- I have put z_calendar.cgi (renamed z_calendar.ipl) into /iw-home/httpd/iw-bin as well as put in the z_calendar.ipl unchanged into the same directory just to be sure.

2. Make sure the DCR has the following tag applied: <cgi-callout url="/iw-bin/iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi/z_calendar.ipl" label="View Calendar" windowfeatures=" width=200,height=230,resizable=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,titlebar=no"/>

------ I have the code as stated above in my DCT but when I run the DCT and then try to use the calandar script I get an error: Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I have full read/write/execute rights to the scripts in their directory.

Here is my DCT's code:

A couple of ideas:

1) Verify that the #! line on the first line of your file contains the proper path to iwperl for your system.
2) Verify that z_calendar.ipl is executable.
