    Anybody here have experience using Simple Control Panel? I am having tons of problems hosting a simple shopping cart script on a dedicated server I just got.

    I've created my domain inside the panel and uploaded all html and cgi files via FTP to /home/myusername/public_html/

    HTML files and all images are hosted fine. But the only way I could get CGI scripts to work was to upload the cgi files as root inside the panel instead of myusername via FTP. Is this because I am using ScriptAlias to point to my cgi folder in httpd? Now these commerce scripts will run but if they require another file that is on the site I run into constant permission errors.

    What is the proper procedure for hosting a domain with CGI using Simple Control Panel on a Dedicated server? I'm using CentOS and Apache. I really need to figure out all these permissions errors I'm running into.
