Björnke, it is strange that the mc cgi engine would work, but the 
revolution cgi engine would not work, for the same script. Were you 
able to replicate the problem and did you bug report it?

Not really, and it's also impossible to debug a lot of web server 
problems without it :-)

On OS X it's in: /var/log/httpd/error_log

On Unix you can usually find logfiles in /var/log. It's also possible 
to install Apache to wherever and sometimes you can  find it in 
/etc/httpd or /usr/local/apache or /usr/share/opt/pub/misc/apache (ok 
that one is made up)

Don't bother looking for /var/log with Finder, since it hides all the 
BSD Unix directories at the root level.

Useful for debugging:

  "tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log"
(or depending on permissions)
  "sudo tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log"
