Re: help with localhost please.

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

localhost should resolve to localhost.your_domain not localhost.com unless
of course you own localhost.com

What you are actually doing is requesting the login.pl script from
the server running at www.localhost.com.

Also check if you have a 'AddHandler cgi-script .pl' line in your
httpd.conf file. htdoc is not normally setup to process perl scripts.


You can also check if everything is working by using dnhttpd. cd to the
dnhttpd/exec directory and start the private web server (type in ./dnhttpd
on the command line). Then type in http://127.0.0.1:8000/login.pl into
your web browser. To load the administration module type in
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin.pl
