What do I call my main page?
You can name your main page one of the following so that it shows up as the default directory page.- index.html
- index.htm
- index.shtml
- index.cgi
- index.pl
- index.phtml
- index.php3
The server will look for the default pages in that order. So if you have both a index.html page and an index.shtml page in the same directory the server will automatically open the index.html page as the default.

What is the path to my directory on the server?
If you are running your own domain or ip address on the server your directory will be /home/sites/www.yourdomain.com where www.yourdomain.com is the domain you use to access your account. For example buzin.net would be www.buzin.net. To access files from the web, you will need to add a /web directory to the end of your path. For example /home/sites/www.yourdomain.com/web.
-
What is the path to perl on the server?
The path to perl on the server is /usr/bin/perl, this means that the top line of your perl/cgi scripts should be somthing like #!/usr/bin/perl
-
What is the path to sendmail on the server?
The path to sendmail is /usr/sbin/sendmail
-
How/Where do I execute my cgi scripts?
The server is setup to allow cgi's to be execute in any directory. It is a good idea that you create some central directory wether you name it cgi-bin or mycgi and upload all your scripts to it. Do not name your directory cgi-scripts, if you do you wont be able to use the default server scripts that you access through http://you.yourdomain.com/cgi-scripts.
-
I keep on getting a GID error, how do I fix it?
The GID error is a security feature that stops other users on the system from uploading and over writing your files. If you receive this error please just contact Support and he will fix the issue for your login.
-
I keep getting a cgi-wrapper error, what do I do?
If you are receiving a cgi-wrapper error it is usually because you have not set the path to a directory or file correctly. You should go back into your script and make sure that all the paths are correctly defined. If you believe all paths to be correct and you've checked and double checked and it still gives you the error. Try clearing your browser cache and relaunching and reload the page. If that still doesn't work then find a source on the internet that can help you with common cgi problems.
-
I keep getting a internal server error, what do I do?
If you are receiving a internal server error while trying to execute a cgi script try checking some of the following items. Did you set the chmod permissions of the script, directory and data files correctly? Did you upload the script in ASCII (not binary and not auto) format? If the script contains any email addresses did you make sure and place a \ infront of the @ like you\@buzin.net? If you have telnet/shell to the server you might try debugging the script by going to the directory and typing "perl -c nameofscript". Where the nameofscript is the name of the main script. If you get a response that the syntax is correct try "perl nameofscript". This should execute the script and you will get the out put of the page that you should have received while executing from the web. Make sure and read through the output to make sure that there are not comments from the server that say a directory wasn't found etc.
