RetroSearch Browse

I'm having a heck of a time convincing my Apache web server
that it's ok to run Python CGI scripts. The test script
"hello" does indeed exist in the proper directory and runs fine
under Python from the command line. But when I try to run it
from a browser as in http://<server>/cgi-bin/hello it fails.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
