I turned on the Template Choose Module in Mambo 4.5.1a. I was planning on having it as part of my "demo Site". Unfortunately, every time I hit the select button, I get the following error:

===================
501 Not Implemented
Cannot POST with this URL /
Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in e:/websites/develop/htdocs/modules/mod_templatechooser.php on line 71

Most likely, this was an attempt to execute a CGI program located in an area not configured to hold executable CGI programs. Please contact the server administrator at webmaster.fivewin.com to correct the problem. Please save this error message. Also, please return to the referring document and note the hypertext link that led you here.
==================

I imagine that this is some kind of configration issue, but after a few hours of searching, I can't find it.

I'm running Mambo 4.5.1a On Windows NT4 SP6a (Web Server is Website Pro 3.1.13)

The Mambo installation is otherwise working great!

Any hellp will be greatly appeciated.

Thanks
John

I can't be the only one having this problem, can I ?

Doesn't anybody have any advice on how to solve this, even if it is to tell me "hey stupid, you gotta do this or that"

Obviously you are running Mambo on your machine.

Set it up so that it is accessed "http://something"...

I've got a test site, on my Win2003 server, dont' even care that it isn't visble expernally

http://192.168.1.123/

see if that kills your error

Thanks Bob, I appreciate the response.

I'm having a lot of problems with Mambo 4.5.1a, but not getting much help... TemplateChoose, Remository, The New Improved Timymce, and others. It seems that very little wants to work with 4.5.1a

I'm not sure what what it is that you are suggesting, but I think I have everything installed correctly. Everything else in the basic install seems to be working fine.

In the Global Configuration, I have:

Live Site: http://develop.housecallcomputerservice.net

Is that what you meant?

Please feel free to go there and try it yourself.

Thanks
John

Yep... I was wondering that the error you had listed above was for the "e:/" drive... I was thinking that if your access and adminsiter the site, like above

http://develop.housecallcomputerservice.net

the errors would go away...

There are a lot of varaibles in your configuration.php... that if you try to access your site "differently" it won't work

jstolte

That e:\ stuff was the absolute path, not the livesite path.

The error seems to be coming from the webserver itself. It is talking about CGI, but PHP is setup as ISAPI.

This used to work on the same server in 4.5.??

bobhughe

that's what I'm saying, access it though the "live site path" not the absolute path...

In my case I "can't" access though the absolute, which is '/home/bobhughe/public_html/news'

jstolte

That's what I'm saying Bob, I did. That data just happens to be where the stuff actually lives. It does not appear anywhere in any of the calls. That data only exists in the error message generated by the server or OS or whatever, but has nothing to do with any of the code.

I have tried this on several websites, and get exactly the same reult in all of them. All I did was turn it ON (publish it) in the admin section. It came installed by default.

Finally saw the link to your web... what about the 2nd half of the error message?

"Most likely, this was an attempt to execute a CGI program located in an area not configured to hold executable CGI programs"

I just rent space, so ... this is a question... Do you have to tell your software, where it is legal to exicute a CGI script?

Since like you say the error is being reported by your server software, wouldn't that be the place to look.

jstolte

That's the rub, there is no cgi program. It's just PHP, which is ISAPI... PHP is obviously working...

Can I be the only one having this problem?
