mongoose cannot run c++ based cgi program

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. i want to use this mongoose to run some cgi program written by c++;
the file is compiled by MingGW.rename from hello.exe to hello.cgi and move to 
the web direction
2. i configure mongoose as follow：
# Mongoose web server configuration file.
# Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are ignored.
# For detailed description of every option, visit

cgi_pattern **.cgi$|**.pl$|**.php$
cgi_environment cgi
# put_delete_passwords_file <value>
# cgi_interpreter <value>
...(etc not relationed)

3.
hello.cgi fails to run.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
hello.cgi should output a webpage as a demo:
C:\webroot\root>index.cgi
Contenttype:text/html

<html>
<head><title> hello world </title></head>
<body>
    Hello, this is your first CGI page!
</body>
</html>

but what i get is only error infomation:

Error 500: Internal Server Error
Cannot spawn CGI process [./root/hello.cgi]: No such device or address

Hello,

I have the same problem! :(
I run Mongoose in CentOs. I see the same error: Error 500: Internal Server Error
I know what may be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it:
in mongoose.c, it wants to fork() to run the cgi. but fork() has problem in 
multithhreaded program.
Has anyone solved the problem?

Thanks in advance.
