I have a server on an intranet. Is CGI already set up? If so, where do I put my CGIs for new users? I tried to add a cgi-bin to a user's home directory, for myself, because I was worried about running CGIs as root, if that would even happen. So, I made a cgi-bin and set the permissions, but I get a "You don't have permission" error message. The permissions were set to 755, so everyone could read and execute but only I could write. I checked this over and over. Is there some reason that I can't *yet* run CGIs other than file permissions? I tried FTPing the files as ascii and I tried just writing them on the linux machine. I've also used stock, very easy intro scripts that just return "Hello world" to the browser. And I've successfully used CGI on my personal machine hosted by professionals. It appears to me -- I installed Mandrake myself -- that CGI isn't set up correctly for a user account. How do I do that?
Could someone either explain or point me to some place where I can read how to set up CGI for users on Mandrake Linux running Apache? Everthing I find is either just reference material -- which doesn't help if you're a newbie -- or how to write CGIs. mitch
