Hello Johan, I'm by no means a CGI expert, but maybe some experiences I've had can help you. I believe that most (all?) web servers must be configured to know which directories contain (cgi-)scripts and which contain data. Standard is data, and that's what happens when the url is refered in your case - the server see your .r file and doesn't recognize the extension, after which it returns the file as text/plain. You are probably not allowed to set permissions/modes on the directories. If there is a directory in your site root called cgi-bin, you might try this: copy your scripts to cgi-bin/ add this to the top of the scripts: #!../rebol/rebol -s I don't know about the path thing though, you might have to experiment a bit. I see one danger here; what if something goes wrong and rebol prompts starts popping up on the server screen :-/ I might be useful to have a rebol exe which under no circumstances would require user interaction and would simply quit silently if anything went wrong. Good luck! Thomas Jensen On 20-Nov-99, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have been working for some time now with PERL cgi, but so far I cannot get > any REBOL cgi programs running.
