How can I check that my webserver is configured for the directory of where my cgi script lives. Ie. if my webserver is configured for cgi scripts in /cgi-bin and I am calling /bin/perl.

I am getting "Document contained no data" when I call this cgi script from a web page . Links and permissions are all ok, I have checked them, script is also ok.

The error logs on the server are: 

"[29/Jul/2000:16:37:08] config: for host ip222.san-francisco25.ca.pub-
+ip.psi.net 
trying to POST /sys_data/cgi-bin/email.cgi, handle-processed 
reports: no way to service request for /sys_data/cgi-bin/email.cgi"

I believe we are using a netscape web server.

Any help would be appreciated.
