If you just visit the script directly rather than posting to it, do you see the script
source code? If so, it sounds like you have a missing / invalid ScriptAlias entry. If
you just add something like:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/"
... on the assumption that '/cgi-bin/' is the URI of the directory in which your
script can be accessed, and that /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/ is the path on the
filesystem to that same directory. Add the above entry either in the global
configuration (if the site is using the default settings) or in a VirtualHost
directive (if that's how the site's being accessed).
Another thing to point out is that it's impossible (as far as I know) to have static
files (such as web pages, images, etc.) and scripts in the same directory. The reason
for this is that Apache will never serve a page within a ScriptAlias directory as
above as-is to a browser - the files can only be executed (this is for security
reasons as I understand it - so someone can't download a copy of your script, only
execute it on the server).
Hope this helps, and sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick.
Andy.
