Subject: Installation problem
Hi,

I cannot get socialcalc1.1 to run. I point my browser to the
socialcalccgi.pl file (copy/pasting the URL from the file in my FTP
program - so there are no mistakes), and I get a 404 error. I've
changed the permissions of bin and socialcalaccgi.pl to 775, but it
makes no difference. So that I can get on with some work, I've
installed wikicalc1.0 and there are no problems.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Did you try downloading the "latest version" from socialcalc.org? We
re-arranged a few files there to make it easier to just download & run.
If that doesn't help, can you send through a few more details (e.g. what
appears in your error log when you get the 404) so we can try to spot
what's going wrong.

Thanks,

Tony

Also, if you try the standalone version as well, it would be handy to
know whether it's working (and thus it's a CGI config issue), or whether
they're both failing.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the replies.

I've just downloaded 1.1 again, and I had similar results. I sent the
files as ASCII, CHMODed the containing directories and
socialcalccgi.pl files to 755, and yet I have the following in my
error logs when I point my browser to the file:

[2007-09-08 19:09:36]: error: file has no execute permission: (/home/
xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/bin/socialcalccgi.pl)

Any ideas?

Hi,

I tried the WikiCalc standalone, but not Socialcalc.

As I said before, WikiCalc does run on the remote server.

Thanks.

As I suggested before, perhaps you could try the latest version instead,
as we've moved some things around.

However, based on the error you're seeing, I'm not sure that it will
make much difference:

> [2007-09-08 19:09:36]: error: file has no execute permission: (/home/
> xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/bin/socialcalccgi.pl)

This will be a config issue with your webserver. That's not something I
know much about, so I can't be of much help here.

But, again, as I suggested before, it would be helpful to know whether
you can get the standalone version running, or whether it's just the CGI
version that's causing problems, as it could point to where the problem is.

Tony
