Hi -
I am trying to set up gnats and gnatsweb, and I'm having some problems
with the latter.
I've set up and tested Gnats 3.113. Then I tried to install GnatsWeb
2.8.2. I've followed the instructions in the INSTALL file, and everything
is fine up to the step where I run the 'make test' of the gnats database.
(My set up passes the test.) I then installed gnatsweb.pl and
gnatsweb-site.pl in a cgi-enabled directory on the server.
My problem is that the gnatsweb.pl program does not seem to work. When I
go to
http://{my_web_server}/cgi/gnats/gnatsweb.pl
I get a box asking whether I want to open the file in its present location
or save it to disk. If I attempt to open it, then I briefly see a
small blank screen which then disappears.
Are there other steps I need tp perform?
Should the variable $site_gnats_host = 'localhost' be set to the
{my_web_server} above?
Any help at will be appreciated. I've been working on this for weeks now,
and I'm at the end of my rope.

I'm still a bit of a novice at this, but it sounds to me like the
directory that you put the file in is not seen by your web server as a
CGI directory. What web server are you using?

Apache ver. ?? - I'd have to find out. Our sysadmin people said the
directory should be OK, but I'll check.

Any chance of getting a look at the httpd.conf file?

That's been suggested by another user, too. I just had a look - it does
not seem to be configured to accept perl executables. I'm going to check
with our support people on this...

Sounds like your web server is not set up to run perl scripts. There
should be an entry in the httpd.conf file associating the suffix .pl with
the perl binary.
