[Zoo-discuss] during compilation - fatal error: cgic.h: No such file or directory

[Fenoy Gerald]

Hi Karsten,
thanks for your feedbacks.

I fixed the typo and order issue you mentioned.

About your specific issue, you should make sure that the apache user, which should be www-data if you are using Ubuntu, is allowed to access the 3 directories mapmint-services, mapmint-ui and public_map (run chown o+rx on the directories from root). To test this, you may simply run the following:

 cd $SRC/mapmint
 sudo -u www-data ls mapmint-services mapmint-ui publica_map

If this works then you should try to see in the apache error log file to see if more informations are available for understanding what is happening.

I hope this helps you to solve the issue,
Best regards,
