Hi Mark, welcome to the list.

OK, with the w3-msql binary installed in cgi-bin you should be able to run
it using

        www.your.site/cgi-bin/w3-msql

you'll get an error about a missing input file name. Now, if you create
your test W3-mSQL page in the root directory of your doc tree you should
be able to access the unprocessed file using

        www.your.site/test.html

and run it through w3-msql using

        www.your.site/cgi-bin/w3-msql/test.html

if your file was in test_files/test.html then you'd use

        cgi-bin/w3-msql/test_files/test.html

The other, more convenient option is to tell apache that any file ending
in .msql should be processed using w3-msql. Please see the apache
tutorial in the Extras / Tutorials section of our web site for details.
