need help with server with cgi/mysql
I have my web site hosted by a IT company. It has cgi and mysql but I have never used it. Now I would like to throw some cgi to my page. Do I need to ask that "IT company" to enable these features? I created a cgi-bin in my root, send the hello.cgi in and IE just showed whatever is typed in that cgi file. Do I need to ask them "how to use" those features? Or what kind of information do I need to get from them?
Thanks. |

What OS and web server (Apache, IIS, etc.) are you using?

Tis the problem with cgi scripts. You need to set permissions correctly on it. Try chmod 755 help.cgi to set the proper permissions.
FYI, setting up a directory called cgi-bin is not necessary. I would advise using PHP instead of Perl to code.

The problem is I have no idea what kind of server my web hosting company is using. Should I clarify this before I do anything?
My web package only has ASP CGI and MySQL. Plus, how do I change the permission thru the web? Before, I did all this at school, and they have instructions for it. Now, I don't know where to go... |

Thanks. I asked them for more information but they said their tech guy is not available until next week. So hopefully I will have more info about the server by then.
The reason I have to write the message board is because we would like to keep evenrything with the same host, as we could have more control of it. |
