Could a bug be causing the following problem. I recently installed hypermail-20b3, and
am unable to get the search to work. Following is the fyi_search.html file, and also
the error message produced in the /logs/errors file from executing fyi_search.html.
The following error indicates no such file or directory, but following the error is the
ls -al output of the two files involved. I've tried changing ownership, permissions,
groups, and directory path for search_engine_fyi.cgi, but it keeps telling me
No such file or directory.
Any suggestions as to how to work around this. Thanks in advance for a prompt
response.
