Re: cgi stuff

the problem is that apache doesn't understand SSI. <!--#exec
cgi="cgi-bin/counter.cgi"--> is an SSI command. I've included the needed
files to make SSI work.
first install HTML-SimpleParse, then Apache-SSI by typing

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

afterwards you've got to change some things in your httpd.conf:
add these lines:

    AddType text/html .shtml
    AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

or if you don't want to use shtml extensions just add this line

    AddHandler server-parsed .html

I see that you already have this line

Options ExecCgi Includes Indexes

So you don't have to add

Options Includes

If you've done all this, your counter should work.

You're right. Sendmail is the used program. But I don't know how to use it.
Sorry

Hope this helps
