Do I need a cgi-bin to run these scripts?

  • Short Answer:

    Yes.

    Long Answer:

    Yes and No. A cgi-bin is needed to run these scripts unless your system administrator has turned on ExecCGI, which enables .cgi extensions to be used in any directory. To find out if you can use CGI scripts, your best bet is to ask your system administrator if you can. He/She may opt to give you a cgi-bin in your directory, turn on ExecCGI or check your script and then place it in the server cgi-bin. Either of these options is ok for my scripts purposes. Just make sure you set all variables to reflect any changes you have to make to the location of files and scripts.
