I am working on updating a script, but all of my coding experience is in different languages. I figured the first step is to get the old script running on the server in my directory.
I can view the old script under
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://servername/cgi-bin/originalwriter/name.cgi">http://servername/cgi-bin/originalwriter/name.cgi</a><!-- m -->
when I replace originalwriter with my name, it states: "Page cannot be found"
I have the file under the same directory structure
~/pub_html/cgi-bin/name.cgi with the same permissions on the file and directories.
Just for kicks, I tried to view the script in a method that I knew wouldn't work, by going to
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://servername/~/cgi-bin/name.cgi">http://servername/~/cgi-bin/name.cgi</a><!-- m --> and it tells me I am not authorized to view the page.
What am I missing?it seems like the permissions may still be wrong. are you accessing the server to change the permissions directly? or are you using a client side program to change them?
another idea would be trying to access the cgi page on another system (sometimes the local system you are working with the files will display differently)
hope it helps some... and if not, post more!
chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:Try to chomd the file to 755 or 777.
Good Luck,
Paul
