I've got a script that runs in VB that can perform CGI easily, but PHP does a wonderful job of it. Just install PHP, and take the time to learn it! BTW... PHP is VERY specific to the version of apache you use... certain PHP versions work with certain APACHE and associated modules, etc.

Hello everyone, I've recently started developing applications on a Mac OS X, and one of them is a migration from a C++ CGI written for MS Windows. Porting it has been more or less fine, but I'm stuck with actually executing my program as a CGI. All I have managed to do is download my binary image several times. Unfortunately, I am new to Mac OS / POSIX / Apache development, although I have a fair knowledge of similar concepts on MS Windows running IIS. So far, what I have done is:1) Write a small application that outputs "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\\r\\nContent-type: text/plain\\r\\nContent-length: 33\\r\\n\\r\\nProbando un CGI superchorra" (which is Spanish for, more or less, "testing a really silly CGI") to the standard output.2) Build it and place the executable file in "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"3) Attempt to access the file via http://localhost/cgi-bin/testcgi.cgi After spending a few hours trying different things I've read in different places, without really knowing what I was doing, I have managed to either download a binary image of the file, or get an HTTP 500 error, but I don't even know where to look for the log files in order to try to analize the cause. Would anyone be so kind as to explain to me what steps I need to take in order to enable CGIs on a specific user folder, taking into account Apple's efforts in hiding all configuration files and such from me? Thanks for the time taken to read this, and for whatever time you might take in trying to help me.
