Re: [cobalt-users] cgiwrap problem running cgi script



What kind of Raq are your on?  I have found that the Raq550 will cause
problems where no one else has it before.
try these two things:
1) Is there a .htaccess file in that directory?  If so, remove it
temporarily and see if the error continues.

2) I also had this problem when the URL was too long.  I renamed the
file to a shorter name to test it and it worked.  I know that a shorter
name should not make a difference, but that is how I got it to work on
the Raq550.
