[REBOL] Re: CGI configuration help requested
From: sterling:rebol at: 14-Nov-2000 10:31
As wit hall CGI programs, you'll need to print out hte content-type
before you print anything else out. Then there must be an empty line
before any other text... see corrected cgi script quoted below.

Notice the "content-type: text/html" followed by a newline. If REBOL
is being spawned at the CGI request with this script properly then the
only problem was the incomplete content-type header and it should work
fine. If this doesn't fix it, then you still have some problem.
Check the Apache error.log file to see if it tells you anything
useful.
