OK, still can't get the CGI working with the "mchttpd_0.1b.mc" server. In
order to rule out my limited understanding of Linux, I've switched to the
Mac, and put everything in the same folder.
Echo.mt still does not work. I've renamed metacard to "mc", the "index.html"
and any other root files are served up OK, but the CGI hang's the server (do
I need another Metacard app to load and run the CGI?), and it looks as is
nested folders aren't recognised within the root folder (pathname problem?).
Haven't looked at the script yet. Might get a chance tonight, but i would
really appreciate some help getting the CGI working by Monday as I want to
do some teaching using metacard cgi's monday afternoon. Any help out there?
