Re: Configuration of Sambar server to use Perl

The usual reason for this problem, irrespective of type of webserver, is that the cgi program is not installed where the webserver expects it to be. In the case of Sambar, a little googling tells me it gets delivered with a sample cgi program called 'environ.pl'. A crude and dirty approach would therefore be to put the program in the same place as that one. The Sambar documentation ought to tell you more about aliasing and configuring paths for a cleaner approach - as it happens I only use apache on linux which uses a config file for aliasing paths, but the principles will be very similar.

Hello, thanks for commenting. I uninstalled Sambar and installed Apache on windows. When I type in `http://localhost` I get back the Sambar main screen, not apache. Is there some way to tell localhost that apache is now the localhost? Thank you. John	[reply] [d/l]

hmmmmmm Based on your initial question and your latest node (above) I think you have a rather larger problem than you think. Given your description above, it appears that either... You did NOT actually uninstall Sambar server or your browser cached what Sambar last rendered from `http://localhost` and is not set up to recheck for updates AND You really need to study and understand some "user" fundamentals	[reply]

First you need to ensure Sambar is not running. The correct installation and configuration process (including paths) for Apache is too long to put in a post but is available here: v2.2 -M Free your mind	[reply]
