Basically, I have a file I need to run as a CGI script. So, I looked through Apache's config, found that cgi-bin in the Apache folder is configured to run every file in it as a CGI. I put the file I need to run as a CGI into this folder, and try to go there in Firefox (by using WIZARD/cgi-bin/filename (WIZARD is the name of this computer on the network, and the name that Apache is configured to use). 10 minutes after I try to go there, Firefox is still "waiting for wizard". Meaning, basically, it isn't working - and this isn't a good thing. How would I fix the problem? Incase it matters, the file is a binary, not an ASCII, and I'm running Apache on Windows XP Pro.
