I have been trying to run the calendar on a Network Solutions Unix server, the calendar works but the admin is malfunctioning, the debug program shows all is well?!

Admin screen one: http://www.wgmeunfair.com/cgi-bin/CalendarScript321/calendar_admin.pl

Admin screen two: http://www.wgmeunfair.com/~598840.610942//cgi-bin/CalendarScript321/calendar_admin.pl

It is adding some junk to the ip address. Ideas?

** It is adding some junk to the ip address. Ideas? **

Than the server is not reporting several server variables properly.

You can try adding the line:

$ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} =~ s/~598840.610942\///;

to the calendar_admin.pl file in a similar way to how jbrau suggested (in the previous forum message "Go Daddy & Sbox") as a fix for a similar problem when the script is hosted at Go Daddy

    This code is untested so use at your own risk.

Getting closer, it came back with cannot find server and this in the address bar. There must be a variable to add the domain/cgi...

Try

$ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} =~ s/~598840.610942\\///;

(note the \\)

Although I would have thought the first should have worked.

Or you can even try the following to avoid the confusion with the / character you're trying to get rid of:

$ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} =~ s,~598840.610942/,,;

That caused an internal server error, argh. I have never had this program not install on the first try. Any other ideas?

** That caused an internal server error **

Which? I supplied 2 different lines to try.

** Any other ideas? **

No.

Change the following line:

# The CGI URL for call-back
$Template::CGI_URL = $ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'} | | $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'};

To this:

# The CGI URL for call-back
$Template::CGI_URL = $ENV{'REQUEST_URI'};

I'm not sure why, but SCRIPT_NAME returns that garbage on this host.

oops!  In calendar.pl you also need to remove $SCRIPT_NAME but it's slightly different there.  Look for it and remove the double pipe too.

I just found out Net Sol does not allow shell access to their servers at this time. They will be able to allow this by Arpil. That is why all my cgi programs start but won't completely work. Correct?

No. Having shell access has no affect on whether scripts run or not. It is just another method which can be used to run them. It is usually only helpful in debugging.
