Miriam Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I was exploring cpanel and clicked on cgiwrap in the cgi scripts. It gave a message that cgiwrap was now installed. I looked in my directories and now I have a cgi-bin and an scgi-bin directory. I was only curious, I didn't know it was actually going to do something. What have I done? What should I do? Since I don't know what an scgi-bin directory does, can I just delete it and use the normal cgi-bin directory? Is there a benefit to using the scgi-bin instead? Thanks, Miriam Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 You can safely delete the scgi-bin folder if you do no plan on using it. scgi-bin is a secure cgi-bin folder. CGIWrap is a gateway program that allows general users to use CGI scripts and HTML forms without compromising the security of the http server. Scripts are run with the permissions of the user who owns the script. In addition, several security checks are performed on the script, which will not be executed if any checks fail. Quote
