Thanks, everyone.
With /etc/hosts set to:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost
and accessing the URL:
http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv
I get the error:
# safari can't open the page "http://localhost.com/cgi-bin/mapserv" because
the server
# unexpectedly dropped the connection.
and when the URL is accessed this way (leaving /etc/hosts as shown above):
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv
I get the error:
Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/mapserv was not found on this server.
At this point I'm 90% sure the problem lies between safari and apache.
Maybe it's time for a reference manual on apache. Does anyone have any
titles they would like to recommend?
Mike
