Yes. That line tries to write a file named whatever name
is supplied in the environment variable OUTPUT_FILE. I
suspect your server is not setting that variable correctly.
I suggest you add a line prior to this to print the
contents on your screen:
puts(1,OUTPUT_FILE)
or even ? OUTPUT_FILE (maybe better)
and abort(0) if you want. That will show where the problem is.

It never made it that far.

Running a webserver would be a good start ;)
Browsers don't just go looking for things to load. You gotta
send them something. Even then, they are pretty picky about
what they'll accept.
