CGI Frustration

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

This is probably too obvious to ask, but are you sure you have the path 
statement at the beginning correct?

This it tripped me in the beginning. everything seemed perfectly set 
up, but the path to the engine was wrong

If you are being hosted on a virtual server, this can be an issue.

If it is an issue, just look at Apache's error logs and you may need to 
set the path to
the mc.exe to  something along the lines of :

#!/export/vhost/com/h/himalayanacademy/www/public_html/cgi-bin/mc

i.e. just look at any path in the error logs and emulate that

I had, initially wrongly assumed that I could must put

#!mc
on startup

etc.

because the engine was in the same (cgi-bin) directory as the scripts 
that were calling it... i.e. the default assumption would be "use a 
relative path"

but, not so... won't work.
