can't find cgi-bin/post.cgi

[valkyriejanet16]

I have a simple HTML index page, including:

<form ACTION="http://valkyrie.x10.mx/cgi-bin/post.cgi" METHOD="GET">
<textarea name="Message" rows="5" cols="40" onfocus="this.value=''; this.onfocus=null;">Enter your status update here.</textarea>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" title="FOO">
</form>

The form displays OK. When I click the button, however, I get this message:

404 Not Found
The server can not find the requested page:

valkyrie.x10.mx/cgi-bin/post.cgi?Message=hello (port 80)

The file post.cgi is in fact in the cgi-bin directory. Its permissions are set to 0777 (yes, I know that needs to be dialed back but I was being sure).

The cgi-bin folder perms are 0755. The file is shows below. It is a python file, and its first line is

#!/usr/bin/python

Anyway the message says the file is not found. Please advise me. Thanks!

The file is this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import cgi, urllib2, urllib
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

# This file needs to be readable and writable from this cgi
file_name = "my_url"

form = cgi.FieldStorage()

# If we have Message then this is a status update.
if "Message" in form:
# Redirect back to the form
print "Status: 302 Moved"
print "Location: http://www.myurl.com/path/to/form"
print

# Read in the url from the file
f = open(file_name,'r')
base_url = f.read()

# Build the complete url with query args.
message = form["Message"].value
args = "?Message=%s" % urllib.quote(message)

# Make the request, giving the status to the script.
response = urllib2.urlopen(base_url + args)

# If we have URL then this is an URL update
if "URL" in form:
# Write the url to the file, overwriting the existing file.
f = open(file_name,'w')
f.write(form["URL"].value)

# Let the caller know it worked.
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "OK"

The cgi-bin is disabled on all free hosting accounts.

I see now that I have to be premium to use python. However, the signup for free clearly states that I can use PHP. Does that mean I can only use PHP in line not via cgi-bin?

I have signed up for premium, although I feel blackmailed. How long before that takes effect.

Thanks...

I have received the upgrade accepted email and am still getting the cannot find message. Now what is likely wrong?

Thanks,

Premium accounts are on a different server. If you used the same domain as the one on your free account, you will need to open a ticket to have it moved over.
