Otherwise, it creates wiki.cgi in the +current working directory. It works with the other wrapper it sets up in +my config - post\_update (using git), as that shows in the config with a +full path. + +One workaround would be to mention in the setup file that cgi_wrapper has +to be the full path, not just the file name, but that seems silly when +destdir is also specified in that file and that's where it should go, and +$config{destdir} is a known value in the Wrapper.pm file. + +> Nowhere in any documentation does +> it say that cgi\_wrapper is relative to the destdir. +> As noted in [[discussion]], there are web server setups +> that require the cgi be located elsewhere. +> [[done]] --[[Joey]] + +>> A comment in the generated setup file that all paths should be full +>> would prevent my (admittedly dumb) error without any drawbacks. |
