Re: CGI

["Anthony @ PencilFight Design" <anthony pencilfight com>]

Thanks for all of your help,
I got it working.
I just had to put the following in the httpd.conf file.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/somesite.com/htdocs/cgi-bin
ScriptAlias / /var/www/html/somesite.com/htdocs/


and uncomment out 
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi


Thanks again for all of your help!
