[Xitami] root URL

[Paul Reid]

Online Admin pages:
Configuration
defaults - Server Properties
Default HTML page: [thispage.pl]     Then [index.html default.html]

You get four total entries in the online boxes. I suspect hacking the 
config file directly will do more, though they may be lost if you touch 
it with the online tool.

 > I want the default page to be /cgi-bin/thispage.pl

I have no idea if it will follow a path, and cgi-bin is normally a 
virtual path not a filesystem path.

However, if you just say "thispage.pl" sitting IN the public folder and 
have your Filters set for ".pl=/foo/bar/perl/perl.exe", it should work. 
There is a considerable security risk: if the filter setting is lost, it 
will display the contents of the .pl file to the world and expose your 
code and techniques.

There is also SSI which, if you get it working, lets you embed a call to 
a Perl script in HTML and Xitami will call the script and put the output 
where the SSI tag was.

Good luck.
