# Open Page issues and CGI Errors

 * My site is blog.virtualwhistler.com
 * This page does not seem to come up unless I include blog.virtualwhistler.com/
   index.php. I am very confused because I would assume that it defaults to the 
   index page. Can someone share their insights on this.
 * Second note: anytime in click on a link to another page in my blog I get a GCI
   Error.
 * > _The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
   > HTTP headers._
 * Background: It took my 4 days to get this installed on my server. I was attempting
   to follow the instructions to the letter but there seems to be some issues with
   the installation. The install.php was not in the same directory as was expected
   and I believe that this issue is part of a larger issue and quite possibly part
   of my cgi errors.
 * Your insights and help are much appreciated.

 * Everything works perfectly for me on the latest version of Firefox.
 * No CGI errors. And no requirement to enter index.php on the URL.

 * OK,
 * Anyone having similar issues, I have a question for you. Did you change your 
   permalinks? I did but I did not relate it to my problems until I was tipped off
   by this link. [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301163?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301163?replies=2)
 * I changed back to the default permalink and both of my issues went away. In the
   post I just referenced they did site a fix but I could not be bothered, I am 
   just sticking with the default. I have had enough problems with this install 
   as it is.

 * Thanks for the reply adiant. I think I just fixed it seconds before you checked
   it out.
