Re: directory/file not found

[David Taylor <knet@mailandnews.com>]

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem.

In lynx I am told:
  "Alert! Unable to access document"

In netscape I am told:
  "Netscape is unable to find the file or directory"

I have even tried hardcoding the path to the cgi script:
  <FORM ACTION="/usr/other/web/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/webglimpse" METHOD=GET>

...but that didn't work either.

And I've doublechecked that webglimpse is definitely the script, rather
than a subdirectory containing the script.  I've even doublechecked that
they're executable.

I cannot think of anything I've missed out.  I've gone back over the
documentation at the website and with the packages.

Any more tips/pointers/help would be greatly appreciated.
