By and large it works very well, but I am having problems with using the cgi scripts feature. Compiled programs (eg the "submarine sandwich" demo) work OK, but shell scripts produce a "500 Server Error" on the client when accessed. Looking in the error_log file reveals the message "httpd: script failed to produce output" for each attempt. Has anyone got this to work properly under NetBSD 0.9. Any ideas what I'm (or NetBSD is :-} ) doing wrong, and how I can fix it? Follow-ups directed to comp.os.386bsd.apps. -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@bradford.ac.uk
