| Hi,
I'm trying to learn and understand how this baby works. I am running XP
home.
I have it configured so far, in that it is serving up my .htm files no
problem.
My problem starts with PERL cgi scripts [oh another newbie I hear you cry].
I copied a basic 'Hello World !" script from webmonkey and placed it into
the cgi-bin directory and it worked a treat.
Now when I have downloaded a guestbook PERL script from the cgi resource and
placed it into the cgi-bin directory I'm getting the internal server error
message.
It does say on the readme.txt files that accompany the scripts to upload
them in ASCII mode...how do I do that when the server is sat on my pc?
And, one final thing, am I correct to assume that because that basic 'Hello
World !' script worked, I have the set the correct privileges etc in the
server config file
Many Thanks in advance
Simon.
