Maybe path weirdness with Txp/php/linux
I’ve been using the php line $command = parse( 'cgi-bin/<txp:yield />' ) ; to kick off C code that takes in user form inputs and then outputs calculation results. Been working great for 10+ years now. Today, I duplicated a working article and got the error output from php:
<!-- error output:
sh: cgi-bin/mtf: No such file or directory
-->
<!-- return value: 127 -->The original article still works fine. mtf is <txp:yield /> and exists in cgi-bin. The only way I can think of to get this error is if, for some reason, the execution path has been changed. Anyone have a clue? Should the path be specified in a more “absolute” way?
Edit: The article in question has “Draft” status, and I am running by hitting the “Draft” link in the admin panel. Does this preview mode do something odd with paths?

Re: Maybe path weirdness with Txp/php/linux
For posterity: The preview links in Txp set the current working directory to /textpattern/, so creating a soft link from /textpattern/cgi-bin to ../cgi-bin fixes the issue.

For the record: in txp 4.9 article preview happens on the public side, so no fix will be needed any more.

That’s definitely motivation to upgrade early. It appears that posterity won’t care all that much.
