This is part of what my hosting company sent me, but now I am even more confused by this, along with all of your comments.
1. The first line of Perl (we have version 5.0005) in your code needs to
be: #!/usr/bin/perl --
2. Usually cgi/perl scripts can be placed anywhere under /web. On older
hosting packages, you may need to place your cgi-bin after
/web/yourftpusername/. For ease of admin, you can create a folder called
cgi-bin.
3. The path to sendmail is: /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t
4. If you are calling the absolute path to a file in your coding, you
need to
know that the absolute path to the root of your webspace is:
/home/sites/www.yourdomain/
If incorporating this into your coding, remember that you do include
include
the /web/. Therefore /home/sites/www.yourdomain/web/ftpusername/cgi-bin
5. All .cgi / .pl files need to have file permissions set to 755 or 775.
6. If calling a file through the internet, remember you need to omit the
/web/ directory from the reference. e.g. to reference a cgi file through
the internet, if your cgi-bin is located at /web/ftpusername/cgi-bin,
you would browse:
http://www.domainname.com/ftpusername/cgi-bin/file.cgi
What on Earth am I supposed to do with the above? I am using Dreamweaver.
Kind regards
