One of our developers is trying to learn cgi. He put this pinggeneric file on our linux developement server. If I ssh into the server and start konqueror, I see the file, I can right click on it and open it in an editor but if I left click on it I get a message that the file is not found. This is also the message that comes up in the developers browser when he tries to run the script. Does anyone know why the system can't find a file that is obviously there?
