	Most Linux installations come with an Apache web server. It is beyond the scope of this letter to explain how to get the web server up and running. We are going start in the cgi-bin directory to produce our CGI script.		Most Linux installations come with an Apache web server. It is beyond the scope of this letter to explain how to get the web server up and running.

			Note: You can check your Package Manager or Add/Remove Software to see if Apache is installed. The program itself is httpd, it is started with apachectl, and you will need the cgi-bin directory. You can locate these with
			<pre>
			$ find / -iname httpd
			$ find / -iname apachectl
			$ find / -iname cgi-bin
			</pre>
			To manually start Apache (until the next reboot), become root and invoke apachectl:
			<pre>
			$ su - root
			Password:
			# apachectl start
			</pre>
			To test it, open a browser and type "localhost" into the address. You should get an Apache splash page. Run "apachectl stop" and reload the browser webpage; it should be "Unable to connect". Further documentation is at [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/invoking.html Apache.org]. End of note.

			We are going start in the cgi-bin directory to produce our CGI script.

	On my Linux / Apache installation the default place to write cgi scripts is in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory.		On my Linux / Apache installation the default place to write cgi scripts is in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

			Now aim your browser to your new cgi script using something similar to the following line. Change "localhost" to the IP address of your own Linux server, if necessary.
