It's just like you say; you can run cgi's from anywhere. Basically you can prepare a directory cgi-bin (I don't know for sure but you should probably set the mode with chmod 777 cgi-bin) for your client in their webdirectory. In the merchantorderform.cgi there are two important things to edit: the location of perl which is /usr/bin/perl and sendmail is in /usr/sbin/sendmail and you should give this information to your client. Depending on the FTP-program your client is using (ftp in ascii-mode) they have to set the mode of the cgi-file to read/write. If you want to set the mode yourself: chmod 755 filename.cgi Then some other things have to be checked in the merchantorderform.cgi like the use of a /temp directory which probably needs a chmod 777 dirname and the configuration of all other variables. As far as I can tell, the merchantorderform comes with excellent installation instructions and your client should be able to do this.

Hi guys, I was just messing around with Merchant Order Form (http://www.merchantorderform.com/) and it seems to place a lot of stress on having a "properly configured cgi-bin area". I know that my RaQ4r allows cgi's to be run from any directory, without any special protection. Can anyone tell me what constitutes a "properly configured cgi-bin area" (disallowed access to configuration files? perhaps?) and how to set this up for clients requiring a package such as MOF?
