Q: How do I use cgi scripts?

If you want to execute a cgi or any other script from your website, you can put the executable file in your cgi-bin directory: /home/httpd/vhosts/yourdomainname.com/cgi-bin/ CGI and other scripts are required to go in the cgi-bin directory. You can mpt execute them from your website in any directory you choose. After you put the executable script or program somewhere accessible to a browser on your website, then make sure it is world executeable but not world writeable. Some FTP programs have a graphical way of setting permissions. Setting permissions chmod 755 will always work for all directories and all cgi scripts. Regular files that are not scripts should be chmod 644. To execute your script from a webpage, you can either go to the script directly in a browser or make it the "action" of an html form like <form action=http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/cgi-scriptname method=post>
