CGI Scripting Support
Please find below our support section about CGI scripting. If you have a question that is not answered here, please contact us.
What permissions do I set CGI scripts to, and how do I set them?
To make a script work then you must make the script executable, you do this by setting the permissions on the script. A cgi script should be given the following permissions.
755 or owner=read/write/execute, group=read/execute, world=read/execute
Can I put cgi scripts in my secure space?
Yes, simply upload your CGI script with a .cgi extension and set the permissions from the secure server control panel.
Where do I put CGI or Pearl scripts?
Place them in the cgi-bin directory. You will have to use the one we provide, do not create your own in the public_html directory as this will cause an error.
How do I activate a directory to support CGI?
You cannot do this, the cgi-bin directory is already activated for CGI, so please use this.
What is the root to perl?
The path to the perl binary is /usr/bin/perl and this is the same on all our servers.
