HI! I am confused about the full server path to the cgi-bin directory. I do not host on my own server and I am not sure exactly what I need. It would seem that this is the easy part
and I am stuck already.
Can someone help me? Either through private email or here on
the forum?
Thanks so much! I need an angel.

Log into your site via FTP and find your cgi-bin directory. Where is it? On my server, it turns out to be in
/usr/home/my_user_name/public_html/cgi-bin
It's prolly going to be different for most people. It has all that extra stuff before public_html because it's the FULL server path, not just the public path. The reason that the script needs a full server path is that on some servers, the cgi-bin directory is not in the public_html directory, but one level up to increase security.
Hope this answers your question..
