Hey Thank you for the quick reply. i checked the httpd.conf file and surel +y enough the "Addhandler" was commented out. i added ur option and th +en tunrned on CGI in the options directive. I restarted Apache and th +en launched the browser. now it gives me an internal server error pro +blem. i went into the apache logs and this is the error it shows "The system cannot find the file specified. : couldn't spawn child p +rocess: C:/Documents and Settings/Maddy17/My Documents/mywebsite/env. +cgi" Now i went back to the document root dir and checked if the file was p +resent. the file exists there so i am not sure what to do now.
Thanks
