How to set up simple cgi web

[hce <webmail.hce@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I thought if I create /www or /etc/www in my debian PC, and add an
index.htm and cgi file to cgi-bin directory, I should be able to
access http://my_ip_address/index.html. But, it did not work. how can
I make that work?

Thank you.

Jim
