Re: [cgiwrap-users] cgi-wrap beginners woes

[Nathan N. <nn...@um...>]

It's likely an issue with your addhandler usage. I would suggest getting
it to work being executed directly first. I personally use mod_rewrite
when doing short url's with cgiwrap, but I know some users have gone the
addhandler route sucessfully.
