First find out where the perl executable is, most likely /usr/bin/perl
My guess is that the cgi script is calling for /usr/local/bin/perl so
Open your ikonboard.cgi with Kwrite or w/e you like best.
The first line....

#!/usr/bin/perl

replace that with the correct url and it should work!

Well here's the breakdown: I am using linux redhat 8.0 I "love the graphical interface"! I have 2 computers setup 1 is the dedicated server running linux and the other is a win 98 computer. I am using a DI-604 Router with 2 lan connections to the server and 1 to the win 98 computer, the assigned DHCP ip's for the server our 192.168.0.101<--resolved (DMZ) in router and 192.168.0.102.

I have set the server up to allow for http pages to be displayed outside my network by accessing the IP of my cable modem which resolves to the 192.168.0.101. I tried and have been trying to setup a .cgi script to exicute in the location of http://24.70.170.85/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi , now I don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong but when I access the page it doesent exicute, it just shows the text of the script?? I have tried this on various computers and it's not my browser! I have looked at apache documents and I still cant figure this out! Can sombody please help in any way, I have been working on this for days with no progress at all and it's killing me,My eyes are literally bugging out with all the text and coffee I have consumed! lol Please help!

Hi There,
Did you add a script handler for .cgi scripts ?
Did you allow CGI Scripts to be executed in the directory ??

Some Pointers ....

<Directory "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
