Hi...
I hav just installed Apache for the first time.
I have configured it with IP: 127.0.0.1 ... and it works fine when I type the url: [localhost...]

When trying to run the printenv.pl in the cgi-bin directory, I just get the "Internal server error" message.

...is this a chmod problem? .... in that case. How do I change it's permission?

I run apache on Windows XP platform.

do you have perl installed?

on windows it is very unlikelly that you need to change permissions to get apache working, only if you're running it with the credentials of a user, but by default it uses the system account, which have access to all resources of the machine.

No ... no perl here.

Thought it was included in the apache package.
Guess I know what to do then :)

Thanx :)
