SID-01837: running twiki under cgi not cgid

All,

Is there any way to make twiki run in cgi mode, rather than under cgid?

I know its slow, but I have a hack that I use to debug cgi files - I redirect the output to another tty via PERLDB_OPTS=TTY=....

This way I can trace through the cgi files as if I was running at the CLI. However this does not work with cgid, the output seems to be redirected to the

As it stands, I've been capturing and replaying via Data::Dumper, which is a fairly cumbersome process. I capture the request and put it to a file, and then thaw it - but this isn't complete (there are holes) and does not always work.

I know there is a CLI version of twiki as well, but this is cumbersome in a whole other way since it isn't obvious sometimes on how to translate a gui action into the appropriate CLI.

Any input on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,

Ed

I personally use Data::Dumper and direct print statements to STDERR and have a tail -f on the apache error log so that I can see the debug info on page view. And yes, it is a bit cumbersome.

TWikiDebugging is the main document, it is a bit outdated. As you learn please help brush up that document.
