Okey smokey, I've been through this article about six times. I've ammended the httpd.conf file, added the code to index.html and changd it to .shtml. I've restarted everything. Apache, my iBook. I even put my coat on, went outside, came back in and started all over again. When I bring up the page in my browser (safari if thats makes a difference) I just get the 'Gleefully Served' Message and nothing else. Please help me! Bonza set of articles by the way, I've browsed the later instalments and i'm positivly brimming over with excited anticipation.

  I did this tutorial 5 months ago with no problems and having fogotten everything but remembering I liked the tutorial, I tried it again. This time I got stuck at the now popular cgi script point. I figured out what when wrong and felt obliged to add yet a few more suggestions to the arsenal of possible fixes.
  
  If you get the Gleefully served message in your browser but but an error on the CGI test script check the index.shtml file for syntax and the correct path:
  <!--#include virtal="/cgi-bin/test-cgi"-->
  (I had something like <!--#include virtual="/Library/WebServer/Documents/cgi-bin/test-cgi"-->) jeez.
  
  If your browser can't find the file be sure that you saved the index.shtml file the right place: /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.shtml (one time I clouded over and saved it in Sites)
  Also check that you are calling the page in the browser with http://127.0.0.1/index.shtml (not 127.0.0.1/Sites/index.shtml)

  Try emptying the safari cache... found in safari menu.

  You've probably figured it all out by now but if it helps, I went through the Apache tutorial as well as the CGI gallery tutorial fine using Netscape. When I loaded my index.shtml in Safari just for fun I got, Failure to Connect to Web Server (same page displayed fine in Netscape). Haven't bothered to figure out why, just kept using Netscape.

  I am having the same problem. Worked until 1 AM on it. Slept on it and checked everything again in the morning. I'm stumped why it doesn't display the information from the CGI script.

  I'm in the same boat here, too. Did everything the article said to do, but nothing other than the previous text shows up.
  
  Anyone found the bug in the procedure yet??

  I was saving my .shtml file into my ~username/sites folder, but then when I moved it into Library/WebServer/Documents it worked for me...my end goal was to pull a .txt file into an html file and this was a success! =) Now I would like to figure out how to do this on a ASIP/OS9 server...?

  Well, I had the same problem. I decided to proceed anyway with part 3 and 4... Then I put "Allow from All" instead of "Deny from All" and now I can see the text as well as the cgi output...
  
  Is that OK?

  I finally found that there wasn't a Directory for "/Library/Webeserver/Documents" - only ones for "/Library/Webeserver/Documents/manual/" and "/Library/Webeserver/Documents/CGI-Executables"
  
  When I added a new directory with the exact code as in the article - I was gleefully served the CGI test script in the body of my index.shtml!!
  
  Hope that helps...
• same problem - different original code

  I had the same problem as the guy/gal before me. To begin with, my code added an extra directory called "manual". the original code went something like this:
  
  Alias /manual/ "/Library/WebServer/Documents/manual/"
  <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/manual">
  Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews Includes
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  ****************************************
  The following is the CORRECT code that worked for me. (Don't forget to turn web sharing off and on again to refresh the httpd.conf file!!) good luck:
  
  Alias /Documents/ "/Library/WebServer/Documents/"
  
  <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
  Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews Includes
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>

  the text in my config file was different. shown below it has the word Manual.
  
  <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/Manual">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  Note -"Manual" - not in the tutorial
  
  So I added the lines below from the tutorial. (I commented them with my name so I could find them later and delete them if it went wrong)
  
  <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>
  
  Note - no "manual"
  
  just as is from the tutorial
