[Tilecache] Help with tilecache.cgi unusual error

with a little luck, the exact error will be logged to an error log
(usally called error_log or something similar).

if that doesn't help, try adding

   import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

to the top of the CGI script, and load up the problematic URL with a
web browser.

for more on this module, see:

   http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cgitb.html

>  An error occurred: 'SCRIPT_NAME'
>   File "/httpdocs/TileCache/Service.py", line 262, in cgiHandler
>     host += os.environ["SCRIPT_NAME"]
>   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/UserDict.py", line 19, in __getitem__
>     def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]

that's the expected behaviour -- there's no CGI context available when
you run the cgi script from the command line.
