[OpenLayers-Users] WFS Proxy Issue

[joanne cook]

Hi All,
 
I have been trying to implement a wfs layer in Open Layers 2.2, and am struggling with the proxy settings. Currently this is all working on my local machine, so initially I didn't think I needed any setting for ProxyHost, but the layer simply didn't display (I've checked that it works in a different wfs reader). I then tried to add the line 
 
OpenLayers.ProxyHost="/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=";
 
(along with adding a proxy.cgi file in my cgi-bin folder) as suggested in previous questions, and on the FAQ. However, I get a popup message telling me that I have an internal server error 500. When I try and go to http://locahost/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi this also sends me to a 500 error page. My apache error log tells me that it 
 
"couldn't spawn child process: c:/apache/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi"
 
Any other version of the OpenLayers.ProxyHost line seems to give me an unhandled exception error instead. 
 
I am using Apache 1.3 on Windows XP Pro, and I'm concerned that my apache setup might not be configured correctly but I don't know where to start looking to find out.
 
Any advice on this would be gratefully received,
 
Thanks
 
Jo
