Hello Folks, The Revolution CGI engine is not pre installed on on-rev. You need to upload it there, to the cgi-bin folder and chmod 755 it. A webdisk, I think is a WebDAV volume like an iDisk, still, the on-rev account support ftp access and ftp supports chmoding. I find WebDAV a novel thing which I never use. Best go with FTP.
