Re: [cobalt-users] index.cgi. How do I make this to run?

["James Kim" <jwk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alfredo,

Thanks for your kind response.  What I am trying was to rename the mailman
script file into index.cgi and run the initial log-in screen as soon as a
user points the browser to my site.  I wanted to skip the extra step of
setting up welcome page which has a link to the script.

Just one more quick quesiton... Would you know if the mailman professional
version would run without problem, especially the user files stored on the
web server?  I am just moving things from another server where things did
not work as they should have.  Supposed to be a rock solid package... I
might have been playing too much with configuration options in the script.

James
