[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster: Perl + CGI seems broken (napp-it)

[Guenther Alka]

I have tried to setup napp-it on Hipster, but it seems that
CGI parameters are not processed

You can install napp-it on Hipster via
wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl
followed by a reboot

If you then call napp-it via http://ip:81
the login screen appears, so the webserver and CGI is basically working
but when you enter any name or password, this is not given to the script

ex
http://172.16.11.4:81/cgi-bin/admin.pl?name=xx
should give a value for name in hash %in

if someone wants help to search the reason in Hipster:
edit napp-it admin.pl line 147 and look for line
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

add after this line a command to print given parameters
&print_hash(%in);

and call http:/your serverip:81/cgi-bin/admin.pl?name=xx
name >> xx should be displayed


Unless this cgi problem is fixed, Hipster will not work with napp-it
