Movable type and .cgi files

[eduddy10]

Hi I'm having the same problem with .cgi files and movable type as emoci had.

When I go to my page for movable type http://eduddy.x10hosting.com/mt/ the browser tries to download the .cgi file rather than execute it. I have tried changing the permissions on the .cgi files and am still getting the same problem. Can someone help me with this please?
Thanks very much guys

The cgi files must be in the cgi-bin folder.

Please try now, I changed some things on your account.

Cheers!

Hi Guys, The problem seems to have returned and when I go to my movable type cgi page the browser tries to download the files again. All has been working fine up until I checked today. Corey can you work your magic again for me please?

Thanks, Ed

It didn't work in firefox so I tried it in IE and it I got my login screen first time, so I shut all my open firefox windows and tried again with firefox and it works fine. Thanks very much mate!
