Linux Centos and fpCGI

[Nancy Palmquist]

My Esteemed Collegues,

We are changing a server that was running SuSE Linux to Centos and are 
having difficulty getting fpCGI to work correctly.  FilePro version is 
5.0 - it has run flawlessly with these processes for years.

General functioning of fpCGI is as follows:

1)Capture form data,
2)write the data to a CSV file
3)Launch filepro
4)    filepro reads the csv file, processes the data, writes an HTML 
file and exits
5) fpCGI then picks up the HTML file created and feeds it back to the user.

Now 1, 2, 3, and 5 are running.  I can see the dclerk process running in 
step 4 in the process table, but I do not get any output at all.  I have 
LOGTEXT commands and HTML commands in the table and I do not get 
anything from them.  fpCGI does not allow standard output to be captured 
so we can not do that.

If I run the dclerk process in a test mode without fpCGI, it runs and 
does everything it is supposed to do.  In the fpCGI debug log, dclerk 
exits without error.  But it is really timing out and fpCGI is closing 
the process.

Anyone got a clue where to try to troubleshoot this issue?

BTW - I have ONEGATE also acting as a CGI for some newer processes.  It 
works without issue on this new Linux.  If I can not solve this, my path 
is to rewrite the stuff that uses fpCGI to ONEGATE.  I hate to re-write 
when the stuff was working just fine.  It was written before Onegate 
came out and we did not think a rewrite was cost-effective.  Without a 
resolution, we will have no choice.
