| What
can I do if I'm stuck and need to have a CGI installed? |
| First,
you should read all of the documentation that came with
the script. If that doesn't help, you should contact the
author of the script. If that fails as well, contact us
at tech@acceleratedweb.com or through the web by going
to our support section. |
| |
| Can
someone else read my CGI scripts? |
| No!
We worked very hard on creating the most secure web hosting
environment ever. Unlike other systems where users can
read each other scripts, on our system you and only you
have access to your scripts. |
| |
| What's
a relative path? |
| A
relative pathname is a path that doesn't begin with a
forward slash and is relative to some directory. |
| |
| What's
an absolute path? |
| Absolute
path is a path that starts with / ( root directory). Ex:
/usr/local/bin/perl If a path does not begin with a forward
slash, then it's a relative path. |
| |
| Where
is sendmail? |
| /usr/bin/sendmail
|
| |
| Where
is Perl installed? |
| /usr/local/bin/perl
or /usr/bin/perl |
| |
| What
permissions do I have to set on my CGI scripts? |
| The
folder in which you place your CGI program should be chmod
to 755 ( web server will refuse to run if writeable permission
is set for either group or other). The CGI program itself
must be chmoded to 755. |
| |
| Where
do I upload my CGI scripts to? |
| You
upload them into cgi-bin folder which is located in your
home directory. |
| |
| Can
I run CGIs on my account? |
| Yes,
you get your own dedicated cgi-bin for all of your CGI
purposes. |
| |
| What
is cgi-bin for? |
| The
cgi-bin folder is the place for your CGI programs. Anything
you put into cgi-bin and go to it through a browser will
be executed if the right permissions are set. |
