Yes, I am running this as a cgi. I called it from a web browser. IE 6 on a
PC. Yes, the script has no Mac line endings. I wrote it on a PC using a text
editor. I've done nothing different than I have for all my other scripts. I
just don't understand. Here is the path:
tonedeaf.redirectme.net/cgi-bin/write.cgi
The script is in the /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ folder. I can get
other scripts to run fine, but just can't read or write files. Any ideas you
may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
