You can just post your code and the indenting will be preserved. 2) Where is log.log located in your Apache directory structure? The correct path to that file needs to be specified in your cgi script. 3) Check your apache error logs located here: /logs/error_log and see what the last few lines say. It may say something like: log.log: Permission denied In that case, you'll need to change the permissions for log.log to give 'others' write privileges, so that your script can write to log.log, something like this: $ sudo chmod o+w /full/path/to/log.log -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
