You say that the CGI program is in the cgi-bin directory - was that

other cgi-bin directories in the web area on the server?

Yes, it is running Apache and I have complete access.

The template.txt file is at 
http://www.toddcary.com/srjc_CIS50_11B/lesson_6/template.txt

The cgi is at 
http://www.toddcary.com/srjc_CIS50_11B/lesson_6/cgi-bin/cgiecho

This is the error:
The requested URL /srjc_CIS50_11B/lesson_6/cgi-bin/cgiecho/template.txt was not found on this server
