Subject: Re: [Xitami] cgi-bin in webpage folder
Just go into the 'Configuration' menu from http://localhost/admin, and =
then it should show a page with many text boxes. The first three are the =
ones that you want to focus on. The first one called 'Main HTML =
directory' is your webpage directory. Change the one called 'Main CGI =
directory' to the 'Main HTML directory'. Next, change the 'CGI URLs =
start with' to /. Finally, press Save at the top left and you'll be =
brought to the main menu. The last step is to press Restart in the top =
right corner. It should say 'Server is restarting...' and then you can =
start using your cgi files in your webpage directory, or any sub-folders =
in it, once you see that message.
If it still doesn't work, try right-clicking on Xitami and press =
terminate. Then you need to start Xitami again.
I hope that works for you! Email me again if still have problems.
-Greg

Subject: Re: [Xitami] cgi-bin in webpage folder
Greg, many thanks. In the webpage directory, I have a whole lot of =
folders with a web site in each folder. In the cgi-bin, I have the same =
named folders with their respective named folders which have the cgi =
file. I simply want to put that cgi-bin folder (which contains the cgi =
file) into the website folder. It would simplify everything for me as it =
would all be in the same place. For your information, I am using xitami =
just to test my scripts before loading my stuff onto the net.... but I'm =
really new at this. from what you say below, do I just put a folder =
called cgi-bin into the website folder itself? Up until now, I have kept =
them separate because I know it works and I don't want ot mess up =
xitami, by playing around with it. however, I seem to be building up =
folders and it is fiddly the way it is right now.

Subject: Re: [Xitami] cgi-bin in webpage folder
It depends on what you mean by a whole lot of sites. If you are just =
using one configuration, but you want many directories that you want to =
have cgi access, you just put the cgi-bin directory to your webpage =
directory. If you have virtual hosts, instead of clicking on =
configuration, you need to click on virtual hosts, then on the =
configuration that you want to change, and then you can change the =
cgi-bin directory. If you mean something different, just email me. Hope =
that helps!

Open your web browser, go to http://localhost/admin, click on =
configuration, and then change the cgi-bin directory to your webpage =
directory, or a directory in your webpage directory.

I am a bit of a dummy, newbie or slow .... take your choice (must =
be the hot African sun ! ). Can anyone help. I simply want to put a =
cgi-bin with my webpages (ie in each website folder) instead of having =
them all in the main xitami cgi-bin. If you can help, it would be much =
appreciated. It would be even more appreciated if you could explain how =
to do it in easy steps. Thank you in anticipation. ..... now back to the =
