Gah I hate cgi scripts!


Recommended Posts

I've followed everything down to all the instructions as listed on Tobi and everyone elses respective site but when I drop the 14all.cgi script (after editing it to fit my nature) into my /cgi-bin/ directory I get this error message when trying to access the script.

Any ideas on what's wrong? I checked google to see how I could enable CGI and it seems like it's enabled from everything I can see.

Er sorry about that. I have a bad habit of just posting whatever I have in General Discussion. :(

CHMOD is for *nix isn't it? This is on a windows machine.

I like using canned CGI scripts in web pages. The ones that come with the hosting sites, like Formmail.cgi. No java or other scripting needed. Just cool behind the scenes stuff. (Y)

Canned CGI scripts?

Ones that are pre-written and provided to you for use by the web hosting company. Formmail.cgi is one that is widely used, for example. It is designed to email you feedback from forms on your page. I can't alter it, but I can use it as part of my account. Transparent to the visitors of my page.
