I have installed Apache 1.3.20 on Windows XP Home Edition, including PHP 4.2.1. The directory in which I store web sites is c:htdocs but I can't seem to get CGI working at all - I have tried running .cgi and .pl files from c:htdocscgi-bin c:Program FilesApache GroupApachecgi-bin and c:cgi-bin but it doesn't work!

Could someone please tell me what I need to set up and how to do it in order for it to work. I have been throught the apache config files and told it to run all CGI scripts from c:htdocscgi-bin, yet it won't even recognise they are there, let alone give me a compiling error!

I would also be grateful if someone could send me a CGI file to test it - just a "Hello World" one. I haven't learnt CGI yet, so I don't know if the script I got from the internet has an error...
