      If you are using apache you have to configure httpd.conf file like below.
      C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
      and search for “Options Indexes FollowSymLinks” (about line 190) when you find it add “ExecCGI” to the end so it looks like “Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI”

    I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.|
    I could not resist commenting. Well written!|

    Its working… thanks… It will be better if you create a direcrtory named cgi-bin inside htdocs and put your .cgi file inside that ,open browser and then type
    http://localhost/cgi-bin/new1.cgi.
    now it will work perfectly.
