The "ikwiki.cgi?page=index&do=edit" function has a problem when running with [[debpkg thttpd]] or [[debpkg mini-httpd]]: for some reason the headers ikiwiki outputs are transmitted as the page content. Surprisingly, the "do=prefs" function works as expected. Here is what it looks like in iceweasel: Set-Cookie: ikiwiki_session_apnkit=99dad8d796bc6c819523649ef25ea447; path=/ Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 17:16:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> (...) Ikiwiki runs fine with [[debpkg boa]]. --[[JeremieKoenig]] It doesn't work for signin either. What is the reason for these "header => 1" in FormBuilder initialisations?
