[freeside] Error when trying to access the .cgi's

[Alan Murrell]

>chown -R freeside /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global

All files and directories in /usr/local/etc/freeside are owned by 
freeside:root; just to be sure, I issued "chown -R freeside:root 
/usr/local/etc/freeside"

>and make sure Apache is running as the freeside user.

Actually, this I wasn't doing, but I made copied of /usr/sbin/httpd, 
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf, and /etc/init.d/httpd, adding a -freeside to the 
name.  After make appropriate chages, and binding the "freeside" web server 
to ports 81 for "normal" and 445 for SSL, I started it (I made sure it was 
running as freeside user), and it is running fine as freeside user.

When I went to http://freeside.domain.com:81 ("domain.com" was obviously 
replaced with my own domain!), I was prompted for username/password to 
access the page, and once entered, I got the now-familar index.html page.  
So far, so good.  However, I still seem to get the same error whenever I 
click on any of the links that call on the CGI's.  Actually, this time, and 
actual error *page* comes up.  Here is what it says:

An error has occured with the Apache::ASP script just run. If you are the 
developer working on this script, and cannot work through this problem, 
please try researching it at the Apache::ASP web site,
specifically the FAQ section.  Failing that, check out your support options, 
and if necessary include this debug output with any query.
----------

On the actual error page, line 16 is highlighted as being the problem line 
(as is also indicated in the error messages).  I'm going to take a look 
around at the Apache::ASP site, and FAQ, to see if I can find anything, but 
I'm not 100% sure what i am looking for :-(  In the meantime, if the above 
sheds any more light on things, I'd appreciate hearing back!

Hmmm, what version should I have?  How would I find out what version I *do* 
have?  Assuming FS::CGI is installed by Freeside itself, then I have whatver 
version gets installed by freeside-1.4.0pre11, since it was installed on a 
clean system.  Besides that, I haven't installed any previous versions of 
Freeside on this server.

Hopefully this little problem can be resolved!  it can get kinda frustrating 
:-)
