Cgi Script Location

[ozziegt]

Hello,

 

I am thinking about purchasing some software but it requires that the folder be allowed to run CGI scripts. Is there any limitation on where we can run CGI scripts?

 

Here are the installation instructions...the area of concern is the "web server configuration".

CGI Scripts can be run from any file under public_html. There *is* a cgi-bin; but as I learned while helping with MT, it is not necessary to use that; except as organization if desired. =)

Is there any advantage to this forum software that you are going to buy,

over the free forums that you can install from your cpanel?

Thanks Lisa.

 

Don, it's a totally different system...it's thread-based instead of a flat message structure. I was going to try out the evaluation version...here is the URL:

Now the only problem is I have over a hundred files in a few subdirs to CHMOD over FTP...what a pain.
