Well, I have that document in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/printenv which should probably map to a URL such as http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv depending on how Apache is configured. Apache's main config file is kept at /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf If anything keeps going wrong, take a look at it. You should have the following blocks in that file: # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client. # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to # Alias. # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/" # # "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # <Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> If you don't have that or something like it, let us know. -- Chris Devers "People with machines that think, will in times of crisis, make up stuff and attribute it to me" - "Nikla-nostra-debo"
