I forgot to add that your cgiıs need to be in the
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ directory to use them unless you change
your httpd.conf file to look elsewhere or execute files in other
directories. Also, you should use http://127.0.0.1/ as your base directory
and put your pages in /Library/WebServer/Documents/ to view them. The
~username directory is for childıs play :) Real servers donıt do that :)
