ok, this is where I have gotten on my own here but I am lost again...

From a browser, this works:
http://test.canpool.com/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/cgi/script.cgi

This...
http://test.canpool.com/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/cgi/script

Causes:
  CgiWrap Error...
  Execution of (/home/sites/site18/web/cgi/tellmeall)
  is not permitted for the following reason:
  Script file not found.

The path is correct (/home/sites/site18/web/cgi/tellmeall)

Using this breaks the webserver for all sites:
  RewriteRule ^(.*)/cgi/(.*) $1/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/cgi/$2 ...
  ... [T=application/x-http-cgi]

Suggestions??
