Check if your web-server is up, and configured for cgi scripts.
Do something like this in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
1. Set up the home directory first. /home/httpd/cgi-bin.
2. Add the following :
<Directory "/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
3. This assumes your http server is Apache.
4. Add the foll line :
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Better still, go to http://www.apache.org, and study the setup of
Apache Server, problems will be solved automatically. ;-)
If all above is done, and still the problem persists, check the
permissions of your cgi-scripts, the cgi-bin dir., etc..
