Hello All,

For the sake of my studies, I have recently setup and Apache Server at
home. Viewing Web documents is not a problem at all. It seems to be
executing CGI scripts, that is the problem.

I have my aliases in the httpd.conf file correct, well at least im
pretty damn certain. All script have 755 as their permissions.

Below are two error msgs I get, the first from the browser, the second
from Apache's error_log.
I have also included the code from the script. N.B I didnt write the
script. A lecturer did, so laugh at him when you read what he put in it.

Any help preventing me from going insane would be great.
Thanks.
