    ? have you got a webserver installed?
    Like apache? You won't be able to run cgi files without first installing a webserver

    You've lead me to understand that you don't know if you have a webserver installed and that you are using a website provider for your site. Are you sure your webhost supports CGI? If so maybe you should try starting over and doing the steps again. Maybe you've skipped one step by mistake. Hope it helps.

    Yes, what happens when you surf to the guestbook?
    Just create a like to it from the main page.
