Hi Carlos.
I did this:
1. Put rebol executable in location like /usr/bin/rebol/
2. Initialise rebol network via telnet or editing the user.r file
3. create scripts with .cgi ending
4. Set shebang to #!/usr/bin/rebol/rebol --cgi
Worked like a charm, without needing to update any apache conf files.
I think apache has built in support for .cgi files.
Hope this is of some use.
Matt.
