I ask this because it is important to ensure, first of all, that your request is actually being received by Apache. If it is, there should be an entry in both the access and error logs with information about the request, such as the path of the file that Apache believes you are requesting. Unless you have specified an alternate location, such as with the ErrorLog directive, then I think you will find the error log in / var/log/apache2.

Re: CGI Scripts, Apache 2.2.3, and Debian 4.0 R1
Hi Freddy, I was finally able to get it working, but I'm not exactly sure what I did to fix it. I think that it might have been enabling the cgid module. Does this make sense. Otherwise, I set most of the setting back to default, restarted Apache, and the scripts starting working.

Not knowing what all you did, or exactly what type of scripts you're using, it's impossible to tell. I just know if you don't enable the correct modules for what you're doing no matter what's in your httpd.conf or your virtual server settings it just won't work. The correct combination of enabled modules and configuration settings is what works. You can tell which modules have been loaded, both dynamically and statically, by running, as root, apache2 -D DUMP_MODULES. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Is it possible that I am missing an Apache package? Here are my index,html and config files (if it would help). Thanks, Jon I don't have a ready answer, but just a few thoughts. What's your DocumentRoot set up as? This would be in /etc/apache2/sites-available2/default. Make sure it points to your index file (aka your homepage). It's a good idea to restart apache2 after making any changes, with the command: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Might be an idea to install and read apache2-doc -- it comes with some good examples. There's a site I googled that has some basic instructions, at http://www.free-bees.co.uk/articles/apachetest/print/ Good luck! Mark PS, if, even after tinkering, things still don't work, you could try webmin, where the debian package can be obtained at http://www.webmin.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
