I want to use dsl as a webserver. (monkey)
with Monkey everything works great accept cgi
I followd every rule like use ascci on cgi files, chmod 755 etc.
the *.cgi was not find on this server bla bla bah!
I chmodded the directories and cgi files to 755
I also did 777 but I keep getting the same result.
I'm now running the website on XP with perl and it works!
But I want to use DSL not that stupid XP
I can't find a good help on the subject in this forum

django, try this.  I made the following test file as root called it tut.pl, and placed it into the /opt/monkey/cgi-bin directory (sudo beaver /opt/monkey/cgi-bin/tut.pl), :

Code Sample
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "Hello World!\n"


then I ran sudo chmod 755 /opt/monkey/cgi-bin/tut.pl

I started monkey, opened dillo, and went to 127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/tut.pl and there was my page.

I hope this works for you as well.

I work from a harddisk install by the way.

What version of dsl are you using?  I don't have a hard drive install, but I can try that version with the liveCD if it helps.
