CGI + Web + File path Support
CGI Support:
The following is the only current support that we offer for CGI
scripts. Listed below are the file paths for various resources
that some CGI scripts require.
*Note: All CGI Scripts MUST be placed in your Cgi-Bin folder.
The path can be found below.
Paths:
Path to CGI-Bin /home/yourusername/public_html/cgi-bin/
Path to Sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
Path to Domain /home/yourusername/public_html/
Path to SSI /ssi/
*Note: SSI is an option we can enable on your account upon
request. You will need to create the "ssi" folder in your
Public_html folder yourself.
Path to Java: /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.1
Path to Perl: /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl5
/usr/bin/perl5.005003
CGI Troubleshooting:
Here are the solutions to some of the more common CGI script
problems, in question and answer format.
Question: When I try to run my CGI Script I get back a page that
says "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal
error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your
request."
Answer: This is generally caused by a problem within the script.
You should first make sure you have uploaded your script in
ASCII mode and not binary. After this, double check all paths in
the script itself to make sure they are correct. If you continue
to receive this error make sure all files are chmoded properly.
Most CGI scripts come with read me files which can also be
helpful in these situations.
Also, if you have any sub folders inside your cg-bin make sure
you chmod them to 711
And Make sure the cgi files are chmoded to 755
Question: I am being getting a "File Not Found," or "No Such
File or Directory." error.
Answer: Upload your Perl or CGI script in ASCII mode, not binary
mode.
Question: It's saying I don't have permission to access
IMPORTANT: CGI scripts MUST be uploaded/downloaded in ASCII
format. They must also be saved in ASCII (text or .txt) format.
This is VERY important. Failure to follow these guidelines will
result in an inoperable program.
Question: Where can I find CGI scripts for my website?
Answer: You can find a various array of CGI Scripts (Both free &
pay scripts) at
Http://www.cgi-resources.net.
