Hello!

I have a problem and would appreciate any help ;
On my site, I have set SSI exec.cgi for my "file.exe". When started, it executes it, but then it gives me an Error 500 (internal server error) - in my cgi.log says a "broken pipe" occured. The SSI command is set right below the <body> tag.
Anyone? Thanks!

You may consider listing the section of code that is suspect in causing this error.

I generally use PHP, so I might not be able to help much, but I'd look over the URI calling for the page (make sure the ?'s and &'s are all in the right spots, the ='s are present, etc), also make sure the syntax on the actual CGI page that you're trying to load is correct too.

Hi!

I am proud owner of brand new Abyss X2 - it is great, but the SSI is giving me a headache...
Well, here is the code; its just a sample, which I used for training with SSI.
When reports error 500, it says that is the problem in exec directive?
Please, help anyone!

Like I said, I'm not great with CGI, just PHP, do you need a semicolon at the end of the .exe";

If anything, you can call it with a PHP command (if you're running PHP on there too)

PHP.net EXEC page

Sorry I can't be more of a help...

No, I dont need a semicolon nor am I running php, so there will have to be another way to do it...
But thanks a lot for trying!

try without the .EXE extension - this works for me with X1 running under XP

I stick the exec call within < pre > tags so the results are pretty....

I am using Abyss to do maintenance for a data center and it is working fine.

good luck.

Hello,

Thanks for an answer, but I am not so advanced as you, so I have to ask;
Where are these <pre> tags?
And I tried without .exe ext., but no luck..

Did you mean like this?

<!--#exec cgi="myfile" -->

No matter, what I do, it gives me "error in directive line 1" ??

Help?

<pre> and </pre> would be before and after your CGI call.

Code:

<pre>
<!--#exec cgi="myfile.exe" -->
</pre>

Does the file exist in the same directory as your page that you're calling CGI directives from?

Hello,

Well, I think that the problem is solved; the file is in cgi-bin, but I have done this:

<body>
<pre>
<!--#exec cmd="Path to myfile + myfile.exe-->
</pre>
</body>

And it worked!!

So, I would like to thank everyone for their help, especially "Toasty" !
But, I am sure, that I would need help in the future, so have a nice day and...
Abyss rocks!!!
