[ome-users] Omero web fastcgi not working

[José Salavert Torres]

Dear Omero users,

Last week I have been trying to install OMERO, I have everything running but the web server.
I followed the guide, but the fast.cgi directory supposed to be in:

/nfs/public/rw/pdbe/mol2cell/omero/development/openmicroscopy/dist/var/omero.fcgi

is missing.

This is the apache configuration file generated by "omero web config apache”:

###
# apache config for omero
# this file should be loaded *after* ssl.conf
#
# -D options to control configurations
#  OmeroWebClientRedirect - redirect / to /omero/webclient
#  OmeroWebAdminRedirect  - redirect / to /omero/webadmin
#  OmeroForceSSL - redirect all http requests to https
