Re: [cobalt-users] CGI Works on Linux Box Not on RAQ3

[Cody Watkins <codyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have Matt's Guestbook running fine on one of my sites. Make sure that all
of your locations are right ( ex. /home/sites/site3/web/cgi-bin/and-so-on ).
Try making your location of perl /usr/bin/perl --   (that's right, with the
two -'s)  

Hope this helps a bit!

P.S. Try searching the Archives for the script name, maybe there is
something that I had to do first to the script, can't remember though.

Sincerely,
Cody Watkins
