OK, so, I've never done this kind of thing before, just PHP'd websites or using sinatra (ruby) that would take care of the "small details" for you. So I tried this on a space I have on the ctrl-c.club tilde ``` #!/usr/bin/ruby p "20 SUCCESS\n\r" # also tried puts puts "# Cgi is working" puts "some text" puts "=>gemini://enteka.xyz some link" ``` and it doesn't seem to work. Amphora, for one does not recognize it. I'm sure I'm doing thins wrong here Could that work in principle? Could I have an issue with permissions? Please help

Instead of "SUCCESS" you should put a media type there, like text/gemini. Also, the \n and \r are in the wrong order, \r comes first. (puts should add a \n by itself at the end, so `puts "20 text/gemini\r"` should be enough). Then make sure /usr/bin/ruby is the correct path for you ruby interpreter (you can type `which ruby` to check, or use `/usr/bin/env ruby` which is "portable enough" across various UNIXes). In the end, make sure it has the executable bit set (i.e. `chmod +x your-cgi-script`). Different gemini servers MAY impose limits on where you store your scripts (i.e. under /cgi-bin/ or similar). If it's nothing in the above list, then it's something you should inform ctrl-c.club about (maybe they don't allow scripts?)

You probably want `print` (or `puts`, to add a newline automatically). So either: puts "20 text/gemini\r\n" or: print "20 text/gemini\r\n\n" -- b10m
