OK I did everything the way you said to, but it can't find the cgi-bin folder
on the server. The host put it in another folder where all the site's pages
are. I've tried every path that I know that could get it there, but no luck. I
even tried moving the files around on the server and that didn't work either.
The page is http://www.coordinatedcarenetwork.org/request.html

Thanks in advance and thanks for the previous help!

I would check with your ISP and ask where the cgi-bin directory is located.
For security reasons, cgi's must be run from that directory. Sometimes, it
is one directory up (i.e. ../cgi-bin). If your http files are placed in a
sub folder like "http" or "html" then that may well be the case. Your ISP
probably gets asked this question all the time and will have the answer at
hand. In fact, before doing that, I would check the ISP's FAQ. Since it's
such a common question, it's probably in there.

BTW, be sure and adjust your paths to account for the path of the cgi-bin
directory.
