I have done this part, and the cgi-bin/WebSite.exe starts up and 
runs fine, giving the "! sorry not available" message when the 
service is not started, and the error mentioned in my original 
post ("no attribute argv") when the server is started

The error is:

Sorry, an error occurred.<p>

I have done that already, but as said above, it does not get that far.
