Conflict in directory level in virtual()

Anon

Hi everyone, I'm having a difficulty making virtual() execute successfully. The problem is as follows:

I have one index.php which has the PHP code virtual("/cgi-bin/..."); in it. This page loads without a problem. But now I want another index.php to execute the CGI script as well, the only difference is that the 2nd index.php is a directory level below the first index.php.

I already tried some possibilities like virtual(../cgi-bin/...") but I always get an error saying that it was not able to include this path... What's wrong? And what is the correct path?

Thanks for any advice!

Since "/cgi-bin/" is actually an alias for cgi-bin directory, I think you should use "/cgi-bin/" in both cases. Did you try that?

Yes /cgi-bin/ is what it is now. The path is written in the header file which both index.php share. Can it only be solved by copying the entire cgi script into the subdirectory to make virtual() work?

Heyho, I just tried it out and actually works fine with subdirectories. However, the problem remains when I use subdomains. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks!

I'm not really much into subdomains. But, the point should be: if your subdomains' /cgi-bin/ aliases point to different directories, then you cannot use this. If virtual() can use http://server/cgi-bin/..., try it. If not, I don't know.

Maybe this:
subdomain1's cgi-bin: /dir1/
subdomain2's cgi-bin: /dir2/
CGI script you're calling: /dir1/script.cgi

In subdomain1, you use "/cgi-bin/script.cgi".

Now, in /dir2/ create symbolic link (named "script.cgi") to "/dir1/script.cgi". Now try calling "/cgi-bin/script.cgi" on subdomain2.

I repeat: these are just guesses. I'm far from being experienced in this stuff.

Have you solved your problem?

Yes, I solved it by using an iframe for the banner script. So the shared header.php will constantly execute the cgi 🙂

Thx for your help
