Hi Alex, Not a stupid question at all. I hang my head in shame. I was so focussed on working out server installation details and glitches that I forgot to change the filename on my test page. Sigh. Thanks. Gregory On Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 1:00 PM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com

Hey, there should be a line to set the options for that directory, might make sure that ExecCGI is there in the conf file. Also, while not sure how likely this is, when you go looking for the right set of conf files to modify, make sure that you don't have both /etc/httpd folder and /etc/apache2
