I have double checked my web server config file and it is set up correctly to run cgi programs. Other cgi programs run with no errors; it is only htsearch which, to me, means that it is a problem peculiar to htdig. I still get the above error. > >> If I run htsearch from the command line without options I am asked for >> the word to search for, then the text/html type and then I am presented >> with the search results in html code.

The output from the command line has nothing but the body code. It is missing all the opening and closing code normal to a html page. I have been reading and scratching my head for two days now. I am hoping someone can help me. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
