hello all,
this is my 1st app that will run on an apache server and it is based on google maps. the problem is that while i can open the .html file (together with a bit of javascript code) and see it running …
i cannot do that when i have a .perl-cgi script instead of the .html file.
i use the default apache server install on mac os x, the root directory i use for the .chi script is the default one "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables" (please note that the Hello World chi script works just fine).
so when i type "http://localhost/cgi-bin/demo.cgi" i am getting the following:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) ---> demo.js
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) ---> favicon.ico
and the "/var/log/apache2/error_log" complains only for the favicon thing.
attached is the simple app i am using, so if you could tell me if you are able to run it and how you did it, it would very informative.
i am in a desperate need to make this work, so i would appreciate your help.
thank you.
