I apologize for this second newbie question from me this week, I'm trying to get the server working but I am mystified by some of it. I downloaded a Perl interpreter (I think) from activestate and it went into C:\temp\Sambar60\cgi-bin. There are some sample programs there like mortgage.pl and environmen.pl. I opened the Sambar server and then used IE to get http://localhost/cgi-bin/mortgage.pl and it worked. I then did http://localhost/cgi-bin/environ.pl which also worked. I then wrote a Perl script called simple.pl which I put into the same directory but IE says it couldn't find it when I put in http://localhost/cgi-bin/simple.pl. I then re-named mortgage.pl to cherie.pl, but IE cannot find it either, even though they're all in the same directory on my Windows machine. Can anybody help me, or better yet tell me where to look for answers to questions like these? :roll: There is a log file which might be useful but I can't read it. The 'good' files end in 127.0.0.1 200 POST /cgi-bin/mortgage.pl 771 and 127.0.0.1 200 GET /cgi-bin/environmen.pl 1063
but the response for the re-named file reads 127.0.0.1 200 GET /cgi-bin/cherie.pl 565 Thanks to everybody who helps. Cherie :shock: ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/
