Hello,
I'm new to the whole apache/xampp web server thing and was wondering if someone could help me out with a little problem.
I have been tasked with creating a server to run noticeboard content from and have chosen to install the distribution package XAMPP which includes Apache server and MySQL into which I created a database and installed XIBO.
The problem I'm having at the moment is connecting to the server from a remote machine which is what CGI is meant to do.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe that CGI is basically the web interface that users connect to, to access the server front end remotely.
Here's what I see on the XAMPP front end from my local machine: http://imgur.com/ECxM2RD
I have no idea how to activate CGI because from what I have read online it looks like it should be activated automatically.
Heres what I got out of the apache (error.log) file regarding cgi:
[Mon Jan 19 15:13:09.899414 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 3656:tid 1708] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified. : [client 127.0.0.1:52041] couldn't create child process: 720002: cgi.cgi
[Mon Jan 19 15:13:09.900390 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 3656:tid 1708] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified. : [client 127.0.0.1:52041] AH01223: couldn't spawn child process: C:/xampp/cgi-bin/cgi.cgi
Please ask if anymore information needs to be provided.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
