[Featureserver] First steps

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi again,

I have been now trying to get FeatureServer work in my own server. I 
followed the procedure that I used earlier; with which FS worked except 
the OGR was missing. Now I get 'Internal Server Error' and if I check 
the error log, there is said that: "(2)No such file or directory: exec 
of '....featureserver.cgi' failed and after that: "Premature end of 
script headers: featureserver.cgi".

In this server I have Python 2.3.4 and the earlier one had 2.4.x. Does 
it have something to do with the error?

Other CGI-scripts seem to be working in that directory.
