    Did you upload it to the correct directory? Did you make it executable?
    Any error messages?

    What's in Apache's error log?
    Is suExec enabled or disabled for that web site?
    Also make sure your cgi script contains Unix linebreaks instead of Windows linebreaks (in case you edited the file on Windows).

    That might just mean it's working ... If it's not supposed to give ouput when you view it. How do you know it's not working?
    You link to the script from the form? Some more info please!
