Re: Netscape DSGW CGI programs - problems?

[mcs@netscape.com (Mark C Smith)]

We certified Netscape/iPlanet Directory Server 4.12 on RH 6.0.  But 6.2
should not be that different.  Are you running the Directory Server
Gateway CGIs under our Administration Server or another web server
(e.g., Apache)?  Make sure you follow the configuration outlined here:

 
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/directory/41/gwcust/setup.htm#996824

If you are really stuck, lodge a problem report with iPlanet tech
support.
