Got it working... The tricks were:
1) path to my script was ./sitename/cgi-bin/script 2) I have to use the full pathname to the engine, e.g.: #!./sitename/cgi-bin/revolution at the start of my scripts The only remaining problem is that the server emails me every time it runs: Could not open libgdk-x11-2.0.so: libgobject-2.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory otherwise the script runs perfectly. Any ideas how to eliminate/suppress that error message?
