Hi Alan:
Let's try something really simple:
First, you need something like this:
On linux, it is
#!/usr/bin/rebol -cs
;; that's linux, but you will provide the path to your windows rebol
executable.
It's been a while since I've used rebol on windows, but I presume
it might look something like this:
#!c:\path\to\rebol.exe -cs
Next, a rebol block
;; an empty block will work
rebol[]
;; now a content-type:
print "Content-Type: text/html^/"
;; Announce yourself to the world
print "HOWDY"
The first thing to do is actually run the script directly from DOS,
that is, command.com or cmd.exe to see if there are any errors
regarding the path or the syntax of the script.
If there are no errors, then try it as a URL, if you _don't_ get
a "NOT FOUND" error, you know the URL is good.
If the process continues to hang, it just might be apache, not
your script. Have you looked at the apache error log?
