no,, 127.0.0.1 should woek.. but it means those entries in your error log have nothing to do with you..
give us more details.. 1. where exactly is the file installed?? (eg /var/www/cgi-bin ) 2. Where did you get the script, whats it called, where did you get it and what does it do (supposed to)? 3. What exact url are you using in the browser to test the script. that info should help in working out what is going on. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Aaron Sent: Thursday, 28 November 2002 4:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] cgi help On Wed, 2002-11-27 at 20:29, Franki wrote: > is your IP address either of those?? my ipaddress??
