Just started playing with Apache under OS X (10.3.5). I was poking around for any pre-installed cgi scripts, but found the CGI directory empty.

Is this the normal state of the base install, or did something go awary in the past and I lost stuff??

That's normal. Since CGIs are security exploits in waiting, Apple doesn't include any by default.

...these days. they used to include 2 scripts (printenv & test-cgi, i think?), when OS X was first on the shelves.
