Re: New user - How to configure PI3 to...

[Ang-Chih Kao <akao@MIT.EDU>]

Hi,

Yes the reason is because it is trying to execute the HTML.  For many
reasons (security, numerous different CGI extensions.), it's best to
separate HTML and CGI.  But if you are absolutely diligent on putting html
into the cgi-bin directory:
Search through your config.pi3 for "Name Scripts".  Then scroll down a few
lines to the "Handle StandardCGI", add the modify it into "Handle
StandardCGI Condition="&cmp($c,application/octet-stream)"and then right
after that, add the line: "Handle SendFile".  This will only work if the
CGI has the mimetype of application/octet-stream -- such as .exe.  But then
so does .lzh.  So that means if you have a lzh file, it will try to execute
it.

Once again, you should try to separate the CGI from the HTML.  This was
just a small workaround, with limited success.  It is possible to get pi3
to behave like IIS in this fashion, but I believe that major rewrites are
needed.


Enjoy.
