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

[karsten]

 Hi Gerald et all,

It seems I went through the updated installation procedure but my MapMint
web page but it still has a hick-up when I try to access it. For
http://terra3.terragis.net/ui/public/ it says e.g. "The requested URL
/ui/public/ was not found on this server" when I try to navigate to the /ui
or the /ui/Dashboard directory. /ui is forwarded to
http://terra3.terragis.net/ui/public/ but it seems that some setting for
apache or the symbolic links are not yet correct.

I got all these 3 symb links set:
sudo ln -s $SRC/mapmint/mapmint-ui/ /var/www/html/ui
sudo ln -s $SRC/mapmint/public_map/ /var/www/html/pm
sudo ln -s $SRC/mapmint/mapmint-services/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mm
And also the apache.conf web bloc as noted in the install notees 
Also did : Edit the file /etc/apache2/conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf,
then replace +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch by +FollowSymLinks.

Is there any symb link missing or what will I need to look for to make it
work ?

Below are some additional notes on the installation notes:

In the installation instructions
https://github.com/mapmint/mapmint/blob/master/INSTALL.md it seem to me that
step (2)  needs to de done before (1) , sequence might need to be updated to
avoid user confusion

(2)
sudo ln -s $SRC/mapmint/mapmint-services/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mm
(1)
sudo cp cgi-env/* /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mm/

There seems to be a typo for the ghostscript 
sudo apt-get install .... ghistscript 
Should be "ghostscript" 

Cheers
Karsten

Hello Karsten,
sorry for late reply.

My responses inline bellow.

When you run the copy to deploy the QREncode service, you should have the mm
directory available already.
What is important here is that /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mm should point (be a link
to) $SRC/mapmint/mapmint-services.
In other case it will fail.

You are right, the correct location should be /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mm/main.cfg.

This was created few lines before with the command:

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/pm/styles

So there is no reason that the chown command failed.

For the main.cfg file, you can now read [1] for more informations about what
values you should change to make it working.

Indeed you need to install libreoffice, xvfb and ghostscript to have access
to the print capabilities. This was added the INSTALL.md file too [2].
