And some other questions...do I rename revolution.x86 to
revolution.cgi?

You can rename it to anything -- or not rename it at all -- but I'd avoid any extensions. The main thing is that the top line of your script exactly matches the name of the engine in the cgi folder. Since "revolution.x86" is pretty long to type, I usually rename it "rev" and leave it at that. Then all my scripts start with "#!rev".

And if I try Jacque's helloworld script:

 #!revolution

 on startup
 put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr & cr
 put "Hello World!"
 end startup

and I name it "hello.cgi" how does it know to run with the
revolution.cgi? So may questions...

If your engine is named "revolution.cgi" and the top of your script calls "revolution", the Rev engine won't be found. The server knows what app to run by reading the top line of the script and looking for a file with the same name in the CGI folder.

Also, don't forget permissions. Your sever error log will tell you if that's a problem. You can access and read your server logs at JaguarPC from within your control panel.
