Re: Show_Cgi.fwx does not work

Apache checks for the existence of the requested resource, before passing control to the script handler. If the resource (in this case, show_cgi.fwx) does not exist, it reports an error.

To work around this issue, simply create an empty file, named show_cgi.fwx, in your FoxWeb Program Root. You will need to do the same with show_channels.fwx, show_channels2.fwx and fwadmin.fwx if you want to run these programs too.

I am running Foxweb 4.3 with Apache 2.2.17 and everything works... except I cannot make Show_Cgi.fwx work. I have tried http://localhost/show_cgi.fwx and tried it from the fwadmin.fwx module - channel status. Both give me this error:

There was an error during the interpretation of your request
Message: Script "SHOW_CGI..FWX" is invalid, non-existent, or has not been compiled

I can run all the Foxweb examples if I place them in my Foxweb Program Root folder or change the program root to c:\documents and settings\all users\documents\foxweb\scripts\ in the virtual servers tab of the Foxweb Control Center.

I can run Fwadmin.fwx just fine.

I can also access my created index.html in my web folder via the definitions in my httpd.conf so Apache seems to be working fine. The mystery of the show_cgi.fwx is confusing. Can you give me an idea of what I can change or check?

Here are my Server Variables:
