Hey folks,

I'm trying to get OpenxPKI working on 12.1.

;tldr: looks like the scripts are accessed but not executed

**working**:

\- nginx starts, serves some pages

\- OpenXPKI command line and server start

\- fcgi starts

**issue**:

When I try and load the OpenXPKI page, the page loads but gives me an
application error. When I watch the access logs, I see the scripts are
accessed in /cgi-bin/ and return a 200. But when I watch the OpenXPKI
application log, the scripts aren't actually executed. (EG: if I call
a script from the command line, the application logs light up, if I
call them from the web nothing appears)

nginx conf

`location /openxpki {`

`index index.html;`

`root /usr/local/www/nginx/openxpki;`

`}`

`location   /cgi-bin/ {`

  `allow all;`

  `gzip off;`

  `root /usr/local/www/nginx/cgi-bin;`

  `include /usr/local/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;`

  `fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/fcgiwrap.socket;`

  `#fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;`

  `fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;`

  `}`

rc.cong

`fcgiwrap_enable="YES"`

`fcgiwrap_socket="unix:/tmp/fcgiwrap.socket"`

`fcgiwrap_user="www"`

`fcgiwrap_socket_owner="www"`

`fcgiwrap_socket_group="www"`

I'd be grateful for any troubleshooting tips or ideas this group has.
Thanks so much!

The following flag in your rc.conf helps to debug`fcgiwrap_flags="-f"`

​

\-f   Redirect STDERR output from executed CGI through FastCGI so it
shows in the web server error log.  Otherwise it would be
returned on fcgiwrap's STDERR, which could be redirected.  If
running through spawn-fcgi, fcgiwrap's STDERR is sent to
/dev/null, so this option provides a way to get that output
back.
