Hi Miguel (and others), Thanks for your help. The jmol cgi script is now running on my machine.
It has a strange issue when I view it on internet explorer, though. I pull up the cgi script: http://dev.molmovdb.org/cgi-bin/jmol.cgi?mid_=hivprot .. and it works. Then I click the refresh button and the viewer window disappears. On another machine, the viewer window doesn't show up at all, even initially. Does anyone know of special problems with internet explorer to watch out for?

An important thing to look for is whether or not you are trying to read files out of your cgi-bin directory. Web servers usually will not allow you to do this. And you need to get your data directories correct. Some pointers: - look at the access log on the web server - look at the error log on the web server - if you are using a cgi-bin directory, then you problably (depending upon your web server configuration) cannot put Jmol.js and/or data and/or script files in the cgi-bin directory. - use Mozilla with the JavaScript console turned on - do view -> source on the client to see that the code looks correct. - remember that all directory paths in the html that is generated and in the calls to Jmol.js routines are from the perspective of the browser ... completely independent of the web server. - try enabling cgis in someplace other than cgi-bin and see if you can get it running from there. If so, then you do not have directory access configured correctly.
