Gentlefolk,

Environment: Linux Mint 17.3, ABYSS 2.9.3.6 (New install). CGI executable - NATIVE code (PASCAL).

Reading lots of documents one configures the "scripting parameters" "scripting interpreter parameter" to point to the script interpreter (examples are generally ?.exe or ?.cgi).
The script type is then generally .PL, etc.

Operating CGI in "native" mode there is no script type. How/what do I configure here????

After a new install I set the "Docs" pointer to ~/WEB.
Saved an index.html file in WEB.
Saved the native CGI code in WEB as "web1".

HTTP to 127.0.0.1:8000/index.html and the index form displays.

HTTP to 127.0.0.1:8000/web1 and I get a window informing me that I have chosen to open Web1, save it, etc,...

I have tried all sorts of things like renaming the native CGI code to "web1.cgi" and trying http://127.0.0.1:8000/web1.cgi, etc. No go, some time a 404, mostly the attempt to download the native code.

The native CGI code talks: I can in the shell via STDIN, execute "echo "hello" | ./web1" and it reports an exception that I recognise from the native code.

The frustrating thing is I had this working some time ago. Saved all the files for the native CGI and ABYSS, loaded a new vrsion of Mint, re-installed, etc.

Any help appreciated, Ian.

iru2,

On Linux, the CGI file must be executable (use chmod +x myscript.cgi to perform that change.)

It can be any executable (whether a true executable or a script with a shebang #! preamble).

It should be declared in the "Scripting Paths" table (not as an interpreter.)

That's it. If this does not help, please give us more details about your setup.

Gentlefolk,

No luck, I still have the problem.

File "web1" is executable.

File Web1 is a Pascal executable. I can talk to it via STDIN.

Deleted the scripting "interpreter" path, created the "script path" pointing to the executable.

Further details:

Project path: /home/iru/Projects/WEB
Native pascal executable: /home/iru/Projects/WEB/web1.

Document path: /home/iru/Proects/WEB.

WEB also contains a unique: index.html. 127.0.0.1:8000/index.html and 127.0.0.1:8000 invoke and display this index.html file.

I cannot find any means of attaching a file to here is the abyss.conf file:

Thanks, Ian.
