Hi Farkas,
sorry for this so silly mistake … 

I cannot understand that you cannot request the server from a client until we are well speaking about the same machine when speaking of client and server in our case as we are using the "localhost" name to access the "remote" server.

Can you please confirm that if you load the link http://localhost/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi from your browser you get an 	ExceptionReport document displayed letting you know that no request parameter was set ?

I would like to make sure you get at least this working correctly to make sure you can run the ZOO-Kernel from the Apache server.

Hope to hear from you.
Best regards,

Or maybe use both methods every time to make sure that whatever is your Web Server you'll be able to use this capabilities of automatic env variables setting.
