where is the cgi-bin under private_html?

do i
1. create a cgi-bin folder my own?
2. put a .htaccess file and make cgi server wild avaliable?

thanks.
 
Do you know already?

I'm having the same problem, so if you have already found a solution, I'd appreciate it if you would help me out ...

Thanks

ps. Do you knowhow to upload a cgi file in ACSI (working with Adobe GoLive)?
 
You can create a symbolic link to the cgi-bin in your public directory.

You will have to do it from the shell. Type man ln or ln --help for instructions.
 
Sorry, what did you say?

I seem to know wverything about programming, but sorry to say I am not. Symbolic link? From the shell? In which programm?

Anyway thank you for replying ...
 
Thanks!

RTFM?

Well, I really appreciate your help, but this is getting to difficult for me. I'll try something else ... sorry to say.

I'm getting what you mean, but I don't know anything about that stuff.

Anyway, thanks for your help
 
If your unwilling or unable to us "ln" you will have to copy the files to your private_html folder or modify the apache config so it uses your public_html folder for ssl.

Read the Fine Manual.

Are you the server administrator for your server? If so, then you should probabl be willing to learn a bit about systems administration or get someone else to do it for you.

There are lots of good Linux and FreeBSD Systems Administration books out there; you should probably get one for the OS/distribution you use.

I know!

I will, you know, but I have to make this in a hurry and am doing this in the evening hours, when I have some free time.
So, really time to learn is not there.

When everybody has this problem, why not make a link in this folder to make it work for everybody. In stead of letting every dumbo learn programming. The only thing I know about websites is, how to design them, how to make tham (only in html) and how to put them on thw internet. That's it.

So when you tell me to learn something I have absolutely now idea about, you ask me a lot. (And I'm only female so this is totally abracadabra for me, boys just seem to get this much faster.)

I'll ask my client just to wait for a couple of months more ... And start to learn. See you later!
 
Age? 30 something?

Well thanks for the hint, I probably go nuts before I'll start to cry.
In which programm do I make that file?
 
PROGRAM?

Simply create a file called .htaccess inside the directory ?

Well, I want to try that, but if I don't know what program I have to use, than that won't work - will it?
 
What program to use to create the .htaccess file?

Options:
1. Through ssh you can create it using vi which usually comes with all server installations
2. You can also create this file through DirectAdmin's filemanager.
3. You can create this file on your computer, if using windows you must make .htaccess the extension and not the name (i.e. it Needs to be .htaccess not .htaccess.txt) Then you can upload it to the appropriate directory using ftp
 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

This is what I wanted to know! Now we're getting somewhere!
I'll manage ...
