[hobbit] CGI script errors / browser attempts to download file

This is a problem with your Web server setup.  It needs to be configured
to properly handle each file type.  Check the Hobbit documentation (tips
and tricks? Installation? I forget where) for the bit about how to set
up your Web server.

If you have Apache, then Apache needs to know that <whatever>.cgi is a
CGI, etc.

Hi,
 
Thanks everyone for your recommendations on my first noob post. They
really helped. 
 
I decided to create a new thread for this problem. 
"
http://<MYSERVERNAME>/hobbit/bb.html is working normally and brings me
up to the normal "Main View" screen.  The "All Non-Green" screen works
as well. But everything else....and I mean everything else....my browser
tries to download a file rather than run the cgi script to generate the
new page/report. 
 
I checked and made sure my hobbit-server.cgi file points at the
/usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin directory, and I also made sure that my
http.conf file points at the right cgi-bin for hobbit-cgi and cgi-secure
for hobbit-seccgi.    Im stumped!
 
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
 
Paul
