Jacque,

you won't like what I just found... I've tried the same engine with
MacOS X 10.5 and 10.4... on 10.4 I got the same error as you got, on
10.5 everything was fine. I guess the engine is smarter on leopard or
something like that. I don't have previous versions of 10.3 and
downwards anymore, so I can't test against them.

Now is your cgi software supposed to run on macs? Because you're fine
on linux. And not one dares cgis on windows anyway, too weird. So it
appears that your only problem is mac os x tiger. If you're not using
any of the 3.0 goodies, you can revert to old engine... I know this
was just what you didn't want. I remember having the same trouble some
years ago and talking with mark the engine master that confirmed that
the engine was not working as cgi in tiger but offered no solution.

if you plan to deploy this on 10.4 you can try the suEXEC approach of
previous email, it will make that error go away, but it has some
steps. I made a installer for that solution for David Brooks, I can
send it to you.

Cheers
andre

You should make 10.5 a requirement or use an older engine or go
rampage on bugzilla!!!
