RE: Problem report

You probably need to set the permissions on the CGI program correctly.
That ususally involves either setting or clearing SUID with (chmod u+s or
chmod u-s). Also, typically your would have the following path if your had
a cgi-bin directory:

www.kabkonsult.se/cgi-bin/simple/noframes

or a path like this for no cgi-bin directory where CGI programs end with
'.cgi':

www.kabkonsult.se/simple.cgi/noframes
