Also, are you sure you have the scripts in the CGI-bin? And is your server set to
look in the right folder for CGIs? If you don't have a shebang line, adding one might
also help. I went through this same problem a couple of weeks ago. BTW, what server
is it? Someone might have said, but I don't remember.

Is your directory set to scripts access?
