HOST

PASSWORD: same as you use for managing your website.
If you also have a dialup account with us, you can use a different

give your web designer access to your dialup or email.
All HTML files must be in a directory under your home directory, called
'html'. You can create subdirectories under that as well.
Directories under and including 'html' should be mode 701, and HTML
files should be mode 604.
You can create the necessary files and set the permissions by
selecting "Set Permissions" from the web-based manager at webos.ilhawaii.net.
All CGI programs must be stored in a directory called 'cgi-bin',
which is under your html directory. The permissions for the cgi-bin
directory should be 701 and the permissions for the executable files
should be 705.

How do I call my CGI

the following path: /cgi-bin/script Of course, you will use your actual domain name in place of "yourdomain.com".
What version of Perl is
supported? 5.8.0
What path do I use to call
Perl? /usr/bin/perl
What path do I use to call
sendmail? /usr/sbin/sendmail
I'm getting 'Internal server
error' running my Perl script. Whats wrong?
- When your script is executed, you must print an HTTP header followed by a blank
line. The header must contain either a Content-type field or a
Location field.
eg. print "Content-type:
text/html\n\n";
- You may not have set the correct path to Perl in your script.
- You may have used invalid Perl arguments
I'm getting 'file not found'
running my script. Whats wrong?
Check the
following:
1. script is located in your cgi-bin
directory.
2. page that calls the script has the path
properly specified
3. script has world read &
executable permission.
Do you support Server Side
Includes?
Yes!
My SSI doesn't seem to be
running at all. What could be wrong?
You need to make sure that
the page with the SSI has a .shtml extension. The web server will
only parse files with this extension.
I'm getting '[an error occurred
while processing this directive]' when running a perl script as an SSI.
What can I do?Make sure that you are using the following
format to call include your program: <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/script.pl"--> Note
that your SSI will not function if you use the exec cgi
directive. You should also ensure that your file's extension is
.shtml
Can I user server-parsed image
maps?
Yes. You may store the image and its associated map file
in your own directories. The server then processes the map file as part of
the normal html document parsing performed.
