From: David Dumaresq <david@kwantlen.bc.ca> Greetings: I'm new at setting up forms with our CERN httpd proxy server and have, not suprisingly, ran into a snag. After linking a form that calls a bourne shell script in the cgi-bin directory the server responds: HTTP/1.0 500 This server is not configured to handle POST I have added 'Enable POST' to the httpd.conf but this does not make a difference. The docs say that GET and POST are enabled by default in any case. This might have been more appropriate on comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix, but what the heck. One thing that may be worth checking is whether a GET request works on the same script (or other scripts in the same directory). I believe that the CERN server returns a '500' error code when you try to post to a non-script (rather than 501 Not Implemented, as sent by the NCSA server and variants, which strikes me as somewhat more appropriate); I suppose it's possible that it generates a somewhat less-than-specific message as well... rst
