PCG Hosting CGI Configuration Information

Configuring your cgi scripts on Unix

If your cgi script outputs HTML, references to images and HTML pages must begin with a slash "/", such as:

<imgsrc="images/logo.jpg">

The full system path to your Web hosting directory is:

/home/provID/www
where "provID" is your Web account login username.

The full system path to your local cgi-bin directory is:

/home/provID/cgi-bin

The system path to the cgi-bin directory is equivalent to the URL:

http://www.your_domain/cgi-bin

We offer the most recent full release versions of Perl and its patches.

• The path for Perl version 5 is: /usr/bin/perl
• The path for sendmail is: /usr/sbin/sendmail

• The path for date is: /bin/date

Configuring your cgi scripts on Windows NT / 2000

• We offer the most recent full release versions of Perl and its patches.
• Cgi scripts should be placed in the directory called /cgi-bin. Remove the path statement from scripts on the NT servers.
• The extensions .pl and .cgi are associated with the Perl program on the server, so Perl automatically gets launched.
• While the NT server does not have sendmail, it does have ASP Mail. Documentation on ASP Mail is coming soon!
