i have apache2 running on a machine on my local router net. the html runs fine, but i haven't been able to get it to run the cgi scripts which run fine on my remote server. i would guess that this is some sort of configuration problem, but after studying the o'reilly rat book, i have not been able to hit on the right line to put into the configuration file (/etc/apache2/apache2-conf). AddHandler cgi-script .cgi was suggested (though deprecated), but didn't help. any clues? tia, dan j. daniel moylan 84 harvard ave brookline, ma 02446-6202 617-232-2360 (tel) 810-454-1823 (fax) jdm-LPA1KyJyIuz1P9xLtpHBDw@public.gmane.org www.moylan.us [death to html bloat!]
