Having no CGI experience. I figured it was like PHP/Pearl/ASP, ect. Just write the code, upload and the server will run it.

Boy was I wrong. After lots of googling I found this post at devhood.com

It makes a very good point that I never realized, you have to save the code as yourscript.c and compile it with the comand:

gcc -o youroutputcgi.cgi yourscript.c

Now I’m off to take on greater challenges
