Wt

Hello:

I'm having difficulty following the instructions for using wt in combination with apache and fastcgi on a centos desktop. I am hoping that you can provide some advice on this issue.

I've configured wt using

cmake -DCONNECTOR_FCGI=ON -DCONNECTOR_HTTP=OFF -DWEBUSER=www -DWEBGROUP=www ../wt-3.0.0/

and have installed using make install. I built the examples as well, and have used deploy.sh to deploy the hello.wt example into /var/www/html/wt/hello.

I then installed mod_fastcgi v2.4.6 and modified my httpd.conf file to include the following lines:

LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so

FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fastcgi

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

AddHandler fcgi-script .wt

Options ExecCGI

Allow from all

I created the file /etc/http/conf.d/20_mod_fastcgi.conf with contents

FastCgiServer /var/www/html/wt/hello/hello.wt

I then restarted httpd using /usr/sbin/apachectl. When I direct my local browser to

http://elgar.tosc.com/wt/hello/hello.wt

I receive an internal server error over the browser. The tail of my apache error log is appended at the bottom of this email.

To me, it seems as though apache has attempted to start the service, but that there are required arguments to hello.wt that aren't being passed at invocation. Specifically, when I run it off the command line, I get the same error messages that are embedded in the apache error_log:

stat: No such file or directory

Document root ("") not valid.

These seem to suggest that the docroot should be specified as an arg to the executable hello.wt.

Have I done something incorrect in the installation process that would lead to this condition?

Sincerely yours

Matthew Britton
