I'm trying to set up a demo version of a website content management  
system (CMS) on my Powerbook, running 10.4.3. I have never used the  
personal web sharing feature of X before.

First, I turned on Personal Web Sharing in the system preferences.

Now I'm trying to install the CMS and its built-in web site. One of  
the first instructions is: "Find your server's CGI  directory" in  
order to install some files there. It later says, "if you do not see  
a CGI directory . . . create a directory called "cgi-bin".

The only directory (folder) I can find with "cgi" in it is one called  
"CGI-Executables" in the /Library/WebServer folder (this is the  
Library folder in the hard drive's main directory). Is that what the  
instructions are referring to as my "server's CGI directory" or  
should I create my own called "cgi-bin" -- and if the latter, where  
should it be created?

I'm sure there will be more questions to come, but this will do for now.
