The page loads up fine, but console shows a 404 not found error for JavaScript files. I have verified that the code contains the correct JavaScript file name. Any ideas?

The JavaScript file is loaded like this of course by HTML:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>

Environment: Windows 7; FastCGI; PHP. The instructions for installation came from this site:

http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/phponwindows.aspx

I made a basic html file that looks like this:

<html>

<head></head>
<body>

hello again.
<div id="11">
hello
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/analyst_scrape/jquery.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#11").click(fucntion(){

    alert("good bye");
});

</script>
</body>
</html>

The html file gives me a blank page. However when i change the file ext to .php, I get the following error in console: 

GET http://localhost/analyst_scrape/jquery.js 404 (Not Found) test.php:10
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Looks like you are simply specifying the wrong path. You have not given any information about what you are actually doing so this is just speculation. You mention cgi/phpso I assume you are serving a page that generates the html by running a php script in the cgi/php directory under your page's root.

If that is the case, if the root of your page is foo, then the page you are viewing is in foo/cgi/php/ and your javascript file is probably in foo itself. Try specifying the correct path:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery.js"></script>

Or even the full URL:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.foo.com/jquery.js"></script>
