I am not an expert on this, and I don't have rebol working under
Apache (yet) but the following thoughts occur to me:
1. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="REBOL" RUNAT="SEREVR">
could "SEREVR" be misspelled?
2. I use SuSE 6.1 which does a lot of the install/config of
Apache for you. I have experimented with Apache
only in loopback mode. The main config file is
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
and it has a lot of comments in it which provide clues
on which settings to fiddle with. I have included some
*severely* snipped text from this file to give an idea -
it is a starting point - I cannot claim to have retained
all the settings you may need to fiddle with. Apache
has a lot of documentation - books, web site, and
stuff with the distribution.
Basically, it seems that any program that Apache
calls through the cgi interface must either be
loaded as an Apache module, or configured
via httpd.conf or both.
3. I hope this is a little help, as I would like to see the
detailed instructions myself.
