Just so you know, your path should be: http://server_name/~username/cgi-bin/file.cgi
or presuming things: http://www.efn.org/~ben/cgi-bin/bens_file.cgi You probably have a public_html directory and a public_html/cgi-bin directory under your home directory. If so, the above urls will get you there. These are the defaults for apache. If you try: http://www.efn.org/cgi-bin/bens_file.cgi Then you are trying to access a cgi script installed in the server's script directory. That is, not in a user's directory.
