CGI Basics

Our support does not cover CGI script debugging.
We consider this a function of web design and do not offer
any in-house web development or consulting services.
  • What are the CGI basics that I should know?

    1. Ensure to change the default transfer mode for FTP to ASCII
    2. Ensure to set permissions to 755 by using the chmod command in FTP
    3. Ensure the permissions of script and CGI-bin are set no higher than 755


    Under NO circumstances are permissions to be set at 777 (or rwxrwxrwx).

    It is highly unsecure and opens your account to all sorts of possible abuse.
