Hi,

I have just installed the script links. WHen I was doing the last step, go to the admin.cgi, and when I entered the URL and pressed enter, a download poped up to download admin.cgi! I tried a couple of times and I even tried to go to another CGI, same thing, it starts downlding the script! I chmoded everything right and checked the perl on every cgi. Please tell me what else I can do to fix this problem, ANY help is apreciated! Thanx and I hope you can help me!




Sincerely,
George Kharabadze

I'm guessing you're using windows, right?

You've got an association to CGI files somewhere, as you've probably tried to open a CGI file with one of your applications in the past. When you click on a link to a CGI file windows tries to open it with that same application.

To get rid of the association, go to the Windows Explorer (File manager) and click on View -> Options, then click on the 'File Types' tab and you'll get a list of applications and the file types they are associated with.

Click on each one and look in the lower part of the window where it displays the file 'extentions' for associated files.

You're looking for CGI to appear in this section. When it does click on REMOVE to get rid of the association.

After you've done that, close your browser down, restart it, and try clicking on the link again. (You may need to reboot if it doesn't work straight away.)

If this method doesn't work, let me know, as there is another type of file association in WIN.INI and you may need to get rid of it there too.


All the best
Shaun

Do you have access to run cgi? If so, are your permissions correct?
