Cgi-bin

[Shay72]

hi all,

i created a small perl script, and put it in my cgi-bin directory.

from my html i set the action form to call that perl script,

i was getting unauthorized error.

any ideas ?

do i need to activate the cgi directory or something ?

thanks

You probably need to set the permissions on it to either 755 or 777

what does that mean ?

go into your cpanel, then file manager... then public_html.. then go into your cgi bin find the file then click on it. On the right hand side you will see some options.. Select Change Permissions... change the numbers in the box to read either 755 or 777.
