Revolution as CGI in OS X

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

Well, don't hesitate to tell me to shut up if you've had enough of my 
posts on this.  I'm a little bewildered and frustrated that 
Revolution's documentation and web site doesn't contain anything, at 
least as far as I can tell, about setting up Revolution as a CGI.  I 
know about Andre Garcia's slick server project, and he's given me some 
excellent tips.  But I need to experiment with some basic cgi scripting 
first, and all I need is the basic set up.

These are the instructions that I found at Takaaki Furukawa's site:

"Rename the engine to "revolution" (if you'd like). Put the engine in 
the same directory as license.rev, and give the permission to execute. 
(chmod +x revolution)".

My skull is really thick, so please humour me.  Is the engine the 
actual Revolution application (package) which resides in the Revolution 
2.2 folder which resides in my Applications folder?  Otherwise, I don't 
know what the engine is.  Do I simply then open the Terminal 
application and enter "chmod +x revoution"?  Do I save my cgi scripts 
in .../WebServer/CGI-Executables?  As for my own system, I do have Web 
Sharing turned on.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.
