    Description:
    MetaLib is configured to look for Full Text of an article with the setting 'setenv check_full_text_avail Y'. However, every attempt to do so generates the error below.
    Entry from www_server_m_4331.log every time a user clicks the 'full view' of a search result:

    Resolution:
    It looks like the full text icon is now appearing. The solution, where the sfx instance is sfxlcl3:
    If they are missing in SFX, add these lines to /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/sfxlcl3/config/local_httpd.config :

    ScriptAlias /SFX_API/sfxlcl3 /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/sfxlcl3/cgi/core/sfxmenu.cgi
    ScriptAlias /external_export/sfxlcl3 /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/sfxlcl3/sfxadmin/external_export.cgi

    These new lines should go after the following two lines:

    # For backward compatibility
    ScriptAlias /sfxlcl3 /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/sfxlcl3/cgi/core/sfxmenu.cgi
