Cgi-bin Path Issues

I am completely new to the apache web server and the HP sa1100 server and cannot understand how to find out what my cgi-bin's ultimate path is. I have used the following without success:

/home/mislance/mislance.com/web/cgi-bin/

"mislance" is my domain.

Is this correct? Please help....
I'll get it right one of these days...

Re: Cgi-bin Path Issues

It probably will be something like this, at least on my server it is
/home/domain/domain1/web/cgi-bin

replace domain1 with domain2 domain 3, etc, depending on which domain you are working on.

Re: Cgi-bin Path Issues

Hello,

When you first log in to your server you log in to your user directory, and you need to back up the directory tree to the "WEB" folder for the domain.

Be very carefull becouse you can easily mess up the wrong folders. As admin you have to be real carefull when working with the files.

Html files in your user directory "web" folder can be viewed from the web, but will not be called when someone types in the domain name in a browser.

Re: Cgi-bin Path Issues

is the cgi-bin directory manually created in my domain?

i don't have a cgi-bin directory under my domain. the only cgi-bin directory is located in /home/httpd/cgi-bin

in what way can i have cgi-bin under my domain?

what perl path do you use in your cgi-scripts? is it /etc/bin/perl?

thanks
