texte = Hi,I have a problem with WebStar SSI support and WebCatalog 2.1.3 using the exec commands. I am executing two cgi calls, one accesses a proprietary database using a cgi call and embeds the correct data, the second one, calls the webcatalog cgi action to eveluate a .tpl file that has a single include statement to load a banner based pretty much on the banner code here on the site. The code is shown below.This sequence works perfect with a demo version of Webcat 3.03, but fails with 2.1.3.When using the 2.1.3 version instead of a pretty banner displayed in my web page, i get @A (with no quotes), and the A has a little circle on the top of it. When viewing the source of the returned page, it shows: @Å I get those characters in place of the banner.I think this has something to do with WebCat 2.1.3 not exactly following the rules correctly for passing data correctly between the cgi and webstar. Can anyone tell me how to make this work without having to upgrade to version 3? ThanksBrian Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
