Jon,
one of the most useful
things you can do when starting out with CGI applications
(assuming you are using IE) is to go into Internet Options
and from the "Advanced" tab deselect the laughable "Show
friendly HTTP error messages". You will then see exactly
what the browser is looking for.

I did this and what I got back was:

Õ–£@Æ–¤•„
L×n㈅@™…˜¤…¢£…„@äÙÓ@l¢@¦¢@•–£@†–¤•„@–•@£ˆ‰¢@¢…™¥…™KLa×n.

I am using IE 6.0.

All that happens when I run the program from the command line is the html script below flashes across the screen.

Content-type: text/html

<html>
<body>
Hello CGIDEV2
</body>
</html>


Thanks,

Terry Anderson

The problem is when I call the "Hello World" program I
created, I get "Page not found".

Unless you have already done this, one of the most useful
things you can do when starting out with CGI applications
(assuming you are using IE) is to go into Internet Options
and from the "Advanced" tab deselect the laughable "Show
friendly HTTP error messages". You will then see exactly
what the browser is looking for.

Most likely cause is that you have not compiled your new
program into the same library as the CGIDEV2 samples.

You can also debug simple CGI apps by simply calling the
program from the command line like any other program. That
way if it is blowing up you will at least see it.
