404 File not found

When I try to search my db by opening
http://www.cats-claw.com/cgibin/texis/webinator/search/ I get a File not
found error. What would cause this?

You need to make sure that you have the correct name for your directory
containing CGI programs, and that it is configured in the web server as
a script directory.

Thank you. The Directory name is correct. How do I configure that
directory as a script directory?

I asked my ISP about making the cgibin where the texis and webinator
scripts are located a script directory and they said it is but in order
to run a script it must have the extension *.cgi. Is this correct? If
it is what would the syntax be to run the search on the default DB?
This is being run on a BSDI Unix Server?

That is certainly one way to configure a webserver. In that case you
will need to rename texis to texis.cgi, and then the URL will need the
cgi as well, e.g. /cgibin/texis.cgi/webinator/search
