RE: [mv] installation

["Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com>]

I am assuming you are running a Unix/Apache system. It helps if you give
details of your system/installation. /cgi-bin/simple is a usually copy if
the file ~/mvend/bin/vlink. The permissions on the CGI file (e.g.
/cgi-bin/simple) need to be set correctly. Check the docs. In addition the
web server needs to be set up correctly to run the CGI. There are several
issues: suid, cgiwrap, etc.
