Swish-e

From: Christian Stalberg <ceric(at)not-real.ibm.net> Date: Sun Nov 23 1997 - 15:53:20 GMT

I am attempting to get swish-e running on my Sun ultra 1 running solaris 2.5.1
swish-e runs fine as the tests have indicated. the trouble is with
swish_create.pl.
when I run it from the command line here is the error I get:

# swish_create.cgi
Content-type: text/html
Status: 500 Server Error

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>CGI Program - Unexpected Error</TITLE>

<H1>Server Error</H1>
<HR>
Server uses unsupported method. <BR>
Please contact the <A HREF="mailto:help@resell.net">Web Manager</A> for
more information.

Here are the variables I have set in swish_create.cgi:

$WISHDIR = "/usr/local/bin/swish-e";
        #Location of SWISH-E executable.

$CONFIGDIR = "/home/SWISH-E/ConfigFiles";
        #Location of SWISH-E configuration files.

$INDEXDIR = "/home/SWISH-E/SwishIndexes";
        #Location of SWISH-E index files.

$CGIDIR = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/swish-bin";
        #Location of SWISH-E cgi scripts.

$FORMDIR = "/home/SWISH-E/SwishForms";
        #Location of SWISH-E form files.

$FORMLINK = "/home/SWISH-E/SwishForms";
        #Link path to the SwishForms directory.

$WEBDIR = "/home";
        #Path of your system's web directory tree.

$BANNER   = "/home/SWISH-E/Images/powered+.gif";
        #Logo to appear at the top of all AutoSwish pages

$WEBMAN    = "help\@resell.net";
        #E-mail address of your website manager. Escape the "at" sign as
shown!!!

The web server error log is reporting:
