Re: cgi stuff

[John Kelly Robison <robison zusas uni-halle de>]

Great, after installing all of the modules, which included eight in all
(Useragent and a few other required still more modules), the cgi scripts don't
work at all now.  When I attempt to use anything using cgi, such as a form, I
get a "/cgi-bin/form.cgi not found on this server" error.

Any ideas what i do now?
