What
file permissions do I need for my CGI script?
CGIs
must be set with executable file permissions or else
requests for the script from the web server will result in
an Internal Server error. Scripts that need to be
executable should have their permission set with
chmod 755. This
sets the file's permissions so that the file's owner may
read, write, and execute the file, and anyone else can
only read and execute it.
Configuring
CGI Scripts Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
To
execute cgi-bin
or cgi-sys
scripts under a secure connection, you must
submit a support request to activate SSL for your account.
How
do I call a CGI Script Securely
NOTE:
You can start calling your scripts securely after we have
activated SSL for your CGI-BIN directory.
Using
your local CGI-BIN, your path would look like this:
https://ssl.securenameservers.com/yourdomain/cgi-bin/file.pl
The
ssl.scurenameserverssevers.com
represents
the server your domain is hosted on. If you would like to
use
formmail.pl securely,
you first need to:
1.
Save
a copy of this script on your local hard drive.
2.
Upload
the
formmail.pl file
into your local
/cgi-bin directory.
3.
Then,
instead of calling the universal
/cgi-sys directory,
you would call your own /cgi-bin
directory.
It
will look something like this:
https://ssl.securenameservers.com/domain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl
NOTE:
You do
NOT include the extension of your domain (ie. '.com',
'.net', '.org').
What
is your server path to PERL and Sendmail?
Our
server path to PERL is:
!/usr/local/bin/perl
The
path to the Sendmail program is:
/usr/lib/sendmail
