Oh, sorry, I missed the fact that your problem was two-fold :)
Indeed, my latest patch is simply setting the current working directory
for executed scripts, but the gophermap still needs to find them by
their absolute path.
I will add this today, so gophermaps will be able to locate scripts
using their relative path.
BTW, in the special case that a script is called by a gophermap (as
opposed to being called by the user agent directly), I believe it would
make more sense to set the current working directory to where the
gophermap is, not where the script is. What do you think?
say, I have a gophermap in /mystuff, that calls the inline script
/cgi-bin/output.cgi - in this case, I'd rather expect the current
working directory of the script to be set to /mystuff, instead of
/cgi-bin/. Do you agree on this?

Hello Mateusz,
thanks a lot, that solved one part of my original question. Indeed PHP
scripts now have working directory set to the same directory they are
saved in. How about the gophermap itself? When I use = to insert result
of executed script, I have to specify the complete path.
It's not a big deal, it just would be more friendly if Motsognir was by
default searching in the same directory, where the gophermap is (when I
use =./somescript.php).
Thanks.

Hello Martin,
It's done. Now Motsognir will run CGI and PHP scripts from within the
directory where the given script resides. You will find the most recent
release on Motsognir's SVN, but you can just as well simply fetch the
tarball from sourceforge's interface:
http://sourceforge.net/p/motsognir/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
("Download snapshot")
I didn't release a new "official" version for that yet, since maybe some
other minor things will go in it.
Let me know if you have any troubles deploying this latest version.

Thanks a lot! This will actually be the very first time I will update
already installed gopher server :-)
At the moment I can't tell any more suggestions, but that may change as
I will progress in modyfying gophermaps.

Hi Martin,
Nice to hear you use Motsognir!
The current path (pwd) is changed to / when Motsognir daemonize
itself,
and it is never changed. It is not a bug - it's a (lack of) feature ;)
Switching the "current directory" to the script's location just before
executing it sounds like a harmless thing to do, and it would
definitely
make your life easier. I will write a patch for that today, and let
you
know when it's ready.
By any means, let me know should you see any other other perfectible
points in Motsognir, or need help with some particular items, I'll be
happy to help.
cheers,
Mateusz
