I've had many problems with Hypernews 1.9.B3 and Cern HTTPD (3.0)
- Instructions.html is not quite enough clear
- about the Exec rule : The default rules mapping
ain't sufficient. For setting up system-setup.pl i've had
to use a rule pointing directlyin ./scripts directory. I.e. :
Exec /HyperConf/* /wherever/HyperNews/.scripts/*
- Then there is a 'document contains no data error
- It is a parsing header problem with cern httpd. I've
found a workaround renaming 'system-setup.pl' as 'nph-system-setup.pl'.
- Then again, another parsing problem with cern httpd and $hnlib
- $hnlib is not found, because for some reason, the path
for "pwd" is translated in the working directory of httpd instead
of the .scripts. I found a workaround using this trick :
$hnlib = $INC[1] ; instead of $hnlib = pwd
Then have to precise "$hnlib/setup-lib.pl" at the require instruction.
Well, i first installed HyperNews with NCSA's httpd, and
i just walk on some minor problems, quite easy to solve. But
Unfortunately the system I have to use is working with Cern's
httpd... So I'll appreciate feedback on any known problems with
this daemon and hypernews.
I must say that I have the strong feeling that HyperNews
hasn't been tested at all with Cern's httpd :-)).
On another matter, i'm working on a french version
for HyperNews. If anyone is interested, i'll release it.
(for cern's httpd with built-in security features:-)) ).
