This looks like one of the famous "missing libraries" issues. Not all ISPs install the older Apache libs. I don't recognize these (that is, they aren't the ones you normally see missing) but the ".so" business is a tip-off. Your ISP has to install these. Some won't.

and it more or less worked - gave me an error message first, but the output appeared properly.

That's kind of a surpise. Rev didn't use to work at all if libs were missing. Seems like an improvement to me.

However, I created test2.cgi - changing the first line to be
#!./revolution -ui
uploaded that, changed permissions to 755, and it now works OK from browser and from shell.

I think if you upload the "standalone" engine rather than the IDE engine, you shouldn't have to add the -ui part.

I think the problem is not with the name of the revolution executable -

That's right, you can name it anything you want as long as your script's first line matches. I suggest "Revolution" in the tutorial to keep things consistent for new users. But actually, in my own directory, I name it something very odd -- a random combination of letters -- so that outsiders can't guess it and try to use it. I'm not sure if they actually could do that, but I'm paranoid after seeing what happened to formMail.

I think for some reason the ftp upload of the original file has left the file marked as "in use" or some such thing, causing the "Text file busy" (note that the Unix error message "Text file" refers to an executable - very confusing !!).

Got me, I've never seen this before.
