I usually hit the same problem with the "pre-compiled" stuff on Windows. It's been a while since I installed the last. I think I just replace some prefix path in all the files. A while ago I also compiled on a Linux machine and used the paths for the Windows machine, worked just fine. > Also had a problem with the scripts in the /cgi folder.

Same here. The problem probably is that bsgraph cannot produce the image. I looked in the Apache error log and it tells me that rrdtool.exe is not recognized as a program. So I added E:\bigsis\bin to the PATH and all errors in the error log for this page are gone now. Still no graph, though. As for the bshistgraph page, I get an error about a missing DBI.pm. After installing DBI with PPM next error was it could not create a "tmp" directory. I figured it wants that in the cgi directory and created one. Now I get that page that asks for a range. If I go further it says "host not found in <8.3 filename>". At this point I decided to look in the manual ;-) I added DBD-MySQL, edited the bs.cfg and moved it to adm, created the database and user and restarted BigSister (as always on Windows by killing the processes). The database got filled and I also have some data in it. I'm now getting to the stage you get, the "Chart for" page. And I get the same symptoms. It either reloads the page or creates an empty csv. But I see this error message: In order for graphing to work, R (see http://www.r-project.org/) and ghostscript need to be installed. It seems, they are not. So, I have to install these as well. I give up for the moment since I don't have time to investigate this any further.
