RE: [cobalt-users] CGI won't print output

[Gerald Young <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello
> Whenever I run a CGI script, the Cobalt Error 500 (see
> http://www.rfitz.com/cgi-bin/test.pl) message comes up, even for the
> simplest script:

you must chmod 755 the script to make it executable, without this it will run
through the command line as you are the owner but not through the browser.

also useful to have an index.html in every directory to stop anyone from
viewing the directory contents.

can create one through the command line
touch index.html

best wishes wampy
