Uploading a cgi script to your virtual server is straight forward. Login to your virtual server using FTP. Once logged in, go to the mainwebsite_cgi directory and upload your cgi scripts. Make sure that your FTP client is set to ASCII mode (ASCII for scripts, BINARY for pictures).

What are permissions and how do I set them?

To make a script work then you must make the script executable, you do this by setting the file permissions of the script. A cgi script should normally be given the following permissions:-

755
owner=read/write/execute
group=read/execute
public=read/execute

To learn how to set permissions using FTP then please visit our
FTP guide. You may also change the file permissions using the built-in File Manager. You can access the File Manager from your control panel.

Can you tell me the path to ... ?

Perl - /usr/bin/perl
Perl 5.006 - /usr/bin/perl
Sendmail - /usr/sbin/sendmail
Date program - /bin/date
public_html directory - /home/virtual/sitename.com/var/www/html
cgi-bin - /home/virtual/sitename.com/var/www/cgi-bin

What should the first line of my script look like?

#!/usr/bin/perl

My cgi script isn't working can you fix it for me?
