Hi Robert
You might try to check some of these things:
1. Does the Server/Host allow the use of third party CGI engines?
2. Does your Hello.cgi file also have execute permissions?
3. Is the first line of your Hello.cgi text file correct? (Should be
"#!something" if your executable's name is "something")
4. The link you mentioned creates a tar file, which is a way to allow
multiple files inside one tgz (unlike zip, which can contain many
files). You need a program to untar the files. However, that is the
full Linux distribution, and you only want the engine, so I would
suggest you check out the following link:
ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines
Some engines won't work, if i remember correctly the 2.5.1 version did
run for me when i tried it a long time ago. So I would suggest you try
that one first.
I think these should keep you covered. As for me, this reminds me once
again of the glaring lack of proper documentation/ressources by RunRev
regarding CGI scripting.
I wrote a short explanation of CGI's myself, of course it can't match
Jacque's article, but if you want to read it, you can find it here:

In addition to the content on her companies webpage, there's also three
newsletter entries about CGI's by Jacqueline:

Have a nice Revolution

I am trying to get cgi's working on my web server
I created the hello.cgi from Jacque's article using metapad which
allows me
to set the correct line endings for unix.
Jacque sent me a link to download the linux engine I then used winzip
to
extract I only got one file so I tried powerarchiver and that also
gave me
one file should I be getting more than one file from the
<http://downloads.runrev.com/revolution/distributions/2.5.1/linux.tgz>
I put this file in the cgi-bin changed the permissions but I still get
a 500
error
I am working on a windows xp machine locally
Anyone have any ideas as to shat I need to do to get this working?
Thanks
