Problem

Server error saying "not supported" when you try to run a CGI program.

Details

If you get an error saying "Not Supported" then you haven't mapped your scripts directory correctly, or you haven't checked the Execute Permissions box, or you haven't set the file permissions correctly.

Solution

Follow the instructions that came with your web server to set the file permissions, user accounts, and script directory execute permissions.
