Hi:I am using apache/cgi/c++ to do a school project on a unix machine. i wrote a c++ program to get user input from the forms and prints it out. i compiled the program named it hi.cgi and put its path in the action field of my html form. But when I enter the form, instead of running or processing the cgi program, the browser asks me if i wanna download hi.cgi. I have already set the permission string of hi.cgi to (chmod 755). I am pulling my hair trying to figure out what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
