Hi,
I am doing my nut slowly, I've managed to kind of get to grips with PHP scripts and using them on my website but I cannot seem to be able to use CGI scripts.
In my freeola space, what folder should I have besides the HTDOCS one? Is it cgi-bin or cgi-shl. If it is one of these, where should it be, in the same root as HTDOCS or somewhere else?
Also is it right permissions need to be set to 777 for the CGI-BIN/SHL folder?
The problem generally:
I have a cgi script. In fact every blinkin one I have tried, I have placed in the CGI-BIN and CGI-SHL folder and also in the HTDOCS folder, changed it's permissions to 777 but it won't work..what am I doing wrong?
Do I need to point to:
www.refrainingfrom.com/cgi-bin/blahblah.cgi
or
www.advertising.com/cgi-shl/blahblah.cgi
or
www.mywebsite.com/blahblah.cgi
Please help - very frustrated.
