Ok, I put them there (both the "mc" app and my "simple.cgi" file (I'm
using .cgi instead of .mt)), but when I attempt to call on the cgi
directly from the address bar of safari by typing:

http://192.168.1.100/~kenray/cgi-bin/simple.cgi

I get a "Not Found" page saying that "the requested URL is not found on
the server.

What am I missing?
