Make sure it **IS** in the "web" directory or cgi-wrapper will go bananas and stop it working!  Ensure you create the "cgi-pub" directory NOT as root or you can't upload the scripts (as I did - Dohh) then ensure its chmod'ed correctly (see example below) (and its containing scripts) - I found the admin user the best one to use as the owner of the "cgi-pub" directory.

Works like a charm on the RaQ4 ....
used this kind of reference in the .shtml page
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-pub/redneck.pl"-->

How someever...will the addition I made to the httpd.conf get overwritten
by the everpowerfull Cobalt script that adds sites?

If so, is there a way to have an include file?  I'd rather not mess with
the cgi that creates that file.

Oh, it's no big deal, but you can see it work at
