Basic CGI
I want to run a custom php script from my fieldonline.com site. I assumed I should put such files in the cgi-bin directory, but this seems to just give m a 500 error, and the error log is not helpful. Can you tell me
1. where cgi scripts should go

Hello snarfoid, Thank you for your questions regarding cgi, and basic php. 1. Where cgi scripts should go. They can go anywhere within your public_html folder. 2. How to create a basic php script (hello world) that runs. This can be done by simply creating a file, and putting the script in the text. For example if you create a file in your public_html folder called: example.php In the body of the file I entered: < ? php echo "Hello World"; ?> Now, you will see Hello World, when you navigate to the file via this address: fieldonline.com/example.php If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |
