As I saw you did everything fine. Procedures I use are:
1) upload the MC engine 2) chmod 755 mc 3) upload and install LibCGI.
can you run your hello.cgi from command line? is hello.cgi outputing correct like this:
Content-type: text/html <html> bla bla bla hello world bla bla </html>
You can always try the cgitool stack I built, it's supposed to solve this problems. You can see it on http://www.soapdog.org/blog and download it from http://public.soapdog.org
It will setup MC as CGI on a remote server, it will also install and setup LibCGI. Your server must be FTP accessible for it to work.

Hi all,
I'm having a problem installing the Rev cgi engine on a Linus RedHat 9 / Apache box. I actually did the installation of earlier MC cgi engines 1 or 2 years ago, and everything went fine (and even built a few complete websites around these engines without any major problem).
I'm following step-by-step the online tutorial :
1) download the Linux engine from this URL : http://www.runrev.com/revolution/downloads/engines/2.0/cgi/
2) unzip the file, renamed it "revolution" and upload it to the server cgi-bin
3) set the permissions to 755 (also tried with 777)
4) built the "Hello world" test script (with Unix carriage returns), upload it to the cgi-bin and set the permissions to 755 (and also 777)
5) before that, checked the 1st line of the script : #!revolution
And nevertheless I get a 500 server error with the following URL : http://195.200.114.63/cgi-bin/hello.cgi
Meanwhile, in the same cgi-bin, I have another cgi test file (with 1st line : #!/bin/sh) that works fine : http://195.200.114.63/cgi-bin/test-cgi
So I have the feeling the problem comes from the engine...
BTW, when I unzip the archive, I get 3 files : revolution-x86 .DS_Store echo.mt should these 2 other files be uploaded to the cgi-bin as well ?
Last but not least, I am downloading and unzipping the engine on (and uploading it from) Mac OS9 (don't have any Linux box at hand right now)... Could this be a problem ? In the past, I did download and unzip the windows engine several times and built windows standalones on Mac without any problem...
Any idea ?
Thanks, JB
