Hi, I've been battling getting the validator to work locally on my FreeBSD4.8 box I made the "mistake" of installing the code into a directory of my choosing instead of /usr/local/validator Mistake because check hard codes the path names : ------ # Set final command to use. #my @cmd = ($CFG->{SGML_Parser}, '-c', $catalog, '-E0', @xmlflags); my @cmd = ('/usr/bin/onsgmls', '-c', '/usr/local/validator/htdocs/sgml-lib/xml.soc', '-E0',@xmlflags); ------ see, the (possibly) correct line is commented out When I enabled the non-hard coded line the validator worked The error was introduced in version 1.324 on 25th May 2003 by link see : http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.diff?r1=1.324&r2=1.323 (search for : "my @cmds") This may explain some of the "the validator always returns 'invalid' and yet it works on the command line" posts on the list I found in the archives. FreeBSD ports installs onsgmls to /usr/local/bin/onsgmls therefore working from the command line but not the script. I'm glad I sorted it out, the validator rocks. matt
