I'm using Apache and there is no problem whith the webserver setup. If
I start Monitor from command line my webbrowser is automaticly started
and the Monitor application works. Applications also works fine when
launching them from Project Builder.

The problem is when I start Monitor and Monitor as  _NT service_.
Which port is the default? Do I have to specify a portnumber when
accessing the _NT service_ Monitor?

OK, so the scenario is this:

The NT service "Monitor" is started automaticly at boot, and is now
running.
The NT service "Monitor Proxy" is started automaticly at boot, and is
now running.

I open my web browser and try the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects.exe/Monitor

The result is: 404 - The file was not found.

Why?

I havent tried to specify the portnumber my self, but I'm sure it
works, but I don't want to start Monitor from a shell. I want to use
the NT service.
