Hello moritz

Thank you, indeed makes perfect sense what you say.

got it to work if i put the full path like:

action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi"

Thank you again,

Yoshiro

    if moritz' recommendation fails to work without adding the http://localhost/ you've just shown us (when invoking the cgi ) you may have a problem with your Apache install... but from your OP, if your remark that "i access it through my html link from the html page" means that you bring up the html page without using Apache (by, for example, typing (drive:/// or file:///)path/to/htmlfilename.htm in the browser address bar without specifying localhost, you're again trying to execute the cgi without any means (namely, Apache) to do so.

      Yes ww, i was intrigued by this matter you identified. It didn't feel right to have to write the full path. I knew i was missing something.

      You are right again in that i didn't realize that i wasn't calling the html page from browser using Apache, i was just double clicking the file on Total Commander :). Don't shoot haha, got to get used working with server.

      Thank you so much for pointing this matter to me, speeds things up for me alot.
