[Imc-tech] Library link and tech help

Hey there radical techies,

Can someone put a link to the IMC library back on the IMC webpage (It 
disappeared with the upgrade, and I've been too lazy to point it out 
until now).

I also need some help. I finally made live a new version of the library 
website that was created by a class at GSLIS. BUt in the process of 
doing so, I seemed to have broken the search capabilities of the 
catalog. Its a shame because on the new site the search function is 
more prominent. The way the search function is actually a cgi that call 
a perl script.

I think it is permissions problem with the msearch.cgi (library catalog 
search) but I can't figure it out, archsearch.cgi (IMC archive search) 
has additional problems. When using a browser you get a Forbidden error 
message on both. I can run msearch.cgi from the command line no 
problem. archsearch.cgi won't run at the command line.  Can any of you 
help me figure out what is going on? So the library files are in 
/var/www/urbana/library. The search forms are searchcollection.html and 
searcharchive.html they call msearch.cgi and archsearch.cgi 
respectively.

Thanks!
Ellen
your friendly radical librarian
