RevCGI Hosts?

You can rename it to anything -- or not rename it at all -- but I'd 
avoid any extensions. The main thing is that the top line of your script 
exactly matches the name of the engine in the cgi folder. Since 
"revolution.x86" is pretty long to type, I usually rename it "rev" and 
leave it at that. Then all my scripts start with "#!rev".

If your engine is named "revolution.cgi" and the top of your script 
calls "revolution", the Rev engine won't be found. The server knows what 
app to run by reading the top line of the script and looking for a file 
with the same name in the CGI folder.

Also, don't forget permissions. Your sever error log will tell you if 
that's a problem. You can access and read your server logs at JaguarPC 
from within your control panel.
