Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
WebSpeed
Apache
SYMPTOM(s):
Getting error within browser when trying to access WebSpeed page
This Page cannot be found
HTTP 404 - File not found
The URL being entered is; http://host/cgiip/wspd_cgi.sh/WService=wsbroker1/ping
CAUSE:
The URL being entered within the browser is incorrect. Within the Apache configuration file, $APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file, the alias defined under Script Alias section is different than the one being defined within the URL.
FIX:
Review the Apache configuration file, $APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd.conf file to see what information is being referenced for the Script alias and enter that information into the browser.
Example of how the entry should look within the file:
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/apache/cgi-bin/"
Based on this, the correct URL would be this; http://host/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/WService=wsbroker1/ping
