Mac OS X Server 10.0: Form Data Not Sent to CGI When Using POST Method

If you use the Server Admin application to start Web service, any CGI script (Perl, PHP, Python, and so forth) will not receive data sent using the HTTP POST method from a Web page form.
Symptom

Form data is not sent to a CGI when using the HTTP POST method.


To manually stop the Web server, simply replace the start command with stop.

Important: You may still use Server Admin to administer the Web server. If Server Admin module is used to start Web service or is set again to "Start Web service on system startup," this issue will recur.
