I am new to the world of cgi. I have written some cgi scripts to
retrieve files from a postgres database but instead of being executed only
the code is displayed in the viewer. When I try to move the files into
/cgi-bin/ I get a permission denied message. Running Apache as user "nobody"
seems like a great idea. But perhaps I must run apache as a "real" user to
get cgi to execute or am I missing something fundemental. Why is it always
the easy questions that are never explained in the books :)
