Hi, I just made a cgi script on rht earbornet machine.

Process as follows

mkdir public_html
chmod 0755 public_html

cd public_html
mkdir cgi-bin
chmod 0755 cgi-bin
echo hello world > index.html
cd cgi-bin
echo '#!/bin/sh
 > echo content-type: text/html
 > echo
 > echo "<html><head></head><body><h1><font color=red>Hello 
World!</font></h1></body></html>"
 > ' > hw.cgi

chmod a+x hw.cgi

then

http://m-net.arbornet.org/~rgbecker/cgi-bin/hw.cgi

gives a nice red hello world ie acts as a cgi script

I also created the standard echo script

pytestcgi.cgi

as

#!/usr/local/bin/python
import cgi
cgi.test()

chmodded as before. See

http://m-net.arbornet.org/~rgbecker/cgi-bin/pytestcgi.cgi

Please don't misuse it's free and I'm no longer an American :)
