How do you access the cgi-bin?

I use godaddy hosting right now, and I cant find anything resembling a cgi-bin

Can you create one in dreamweaver?

 

Just go into your cpanel, file manager, public_html, and then hit create new folder (cgi-bin)

There you go.

 

The Cgi-Bin is usually the "scripts" directory for Perl applications.

Describe what you want to do, more exactly.

 

Godaddy CP doesnt have a file manager. Maybe its bc im using the cheapest plan?

The options i have are

Account Login

Sub Domains

Aliased Domains

FrontPage Extensions
404 Error Behavior

Change Domain Name

DNS Manager


Directory Management

Form Mail

Value Applications

FTP Client

MySQL

Access


Statistics Login

Launch Free Web Stats


Thats it

 

It seems you don't have /cgi-bin support

 

I want to know how to get to my cgi bin which im having alot of trouble doing, bc godaddy sucks. My programming freind was talking about different programs he had that i could use.

 

Man I really need to switch out of godaddy sooner than I had planned. godaddy sucks.

 

That is why they are always selling domains so darn cheap!
To get newbies to sign up for their hosting!

Get a host with a decent cpanel.
See the sig.....

 

A cgi-bin is nothing more than a common name for a directory with execute permissions. You could just as easily create a directory called MyScripts to behave in the same way.

If you are hosted on an Apache server, you may be able to create your own cgi-bin: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html#options. I say you may be able to because your host might disallow you from configuring anything.

 

Even i was not sure what cgi-bin was, all i did was created a new directory and saved the cgi scripts and started using it. it worked for i know for me brilliantly.

 

can you post the script please. i'm having the same error too.
