Keywords: qi httpd ph apache cgi database X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 42 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix:11050 comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:2544 comp.unix.bsd.misc:542 Hello, I have a Web Virtual domain + CGI (WebPh sort of) + Qi Database problem here..... the machine is a 386 running BSDI 2.* and Apache 1.0.0 and the database is Qi. I have a CGI that talks to a database and works well, when in the real machine's cgi-bin, but when I move it to Virtual Host's cgi-bin it stops working properly. It does connect to it because I can see that the database responds, but the respond is "bye" - which means the end of the CGI<=>Database talks. I can telnet to virtual domain and talk to the Qi database directly and things work fine. I can use Ph and query the database. I can run the CGI from the shell and it talks to the database properly, but when run from the Web it doesn't :( I don't think httpd, Apache is the problem because the Virtual Host works otherwise. It seems to me that Qi doesn't like when the _CGI_ talks to it from the _Virtual_Host_ Anyone knows what could be the reason for this ? Any help would be appreciated cause this doesn't make much sense to me....
