Hi !

I set up Swish-e before successfully on an Unix machine but the Unix 
hard-drive got fried recently. So I have to start over with a regular 
PC...with my very little knowledge on how to do it under the Windows 
environment. I saw Peter's notes on how to install swish-e, apache, and 
mod_perl for Windows 2000 (Message Posted on May 12, 2004) and was very 
excited to follow this step-by-step 'cooking recipe'.

So I did give it a shot ......but got some errors messages when trying 
to access the Swish-e cgi interface with IE.

I think I am missing something when and hope to get some help here.
Any clue will be a great help. Thanks folks!!!

Ken-Yu.
