Ian, Which version of Apache? 1.3.x, or 2.x?
Here is where to find the documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/ Most changes you would need to make in Apache are in the 'httpd.conf' file. Like Randal said, though, it's ultimately up to the browser how to process the file if there is not a handler for it on the server. If you have the browser set to display text/plain docs in the browser, there's not much you can do to change that situation on the server. One trick you can try is to put it in a zip file; most browsers will prompt you to either save or open that type of file. You might want to read the Apache documentation for the 'AddHandler' directive as well; this may provide some assistance. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler HTH, Scot R. inSite -----Original Message----- From: Ian Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 9:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: cgi probs yes it is, but i am not sure if it is setup right. like i say i have installed linux, but haven't done anything with apache.

I have written a html for to post the data and a basic cgi script to read in and print out the results. I have written cgi code on other machines so the code is correct, but i am having trouble on my machine. When i press the submit button it comes up with a message to confirm if i want to send the data, but when i click on ok, nothing happens, just like it can't find the script, but i have put the correct path for the script in the form action. is there anything i need to do apart from i! nstalling perl? i have placed my cgi script in my cgi-bin directory, and the htlm file in the www/public_html directory. I am not sure what i am doing wrong any help would be fully apreciated thanks Ian --------------------------------- Relive the FIFA World Cup goals with exclusive video highlights! http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/en Relive the FIFA World Cup goals with exclusive video highlights! http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/fc/en --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
