Cgi-bin folder

Hi,
I've made up some forms for a website but when I link to the
perl script in
the cgi-bin folder it comes up with "You are not authorised
to view this
page".
Am I linking it wrong or doing something else wrong? I've
found this
problem on a few sites I've worked on and I've fixed it by
linking to a
script on our own site but I'd rather figure this out than
work around it.
Thanks

Ask your host to give you read permissions on that folder.

Cgi-bin folder in 10.4.11

I'm running 10.4.11 (the regular edition, not server) and I'm running a small website through the personal web sharing feature. I want to integrate a perl script. Do I create a cgi-bin folder in the root folder of my website and put the script in there, or is the cgi-bin folder I'm looking for elsewhere? Thanks.

So where is the apache config file?
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Also, by main web content directory, do you mean the root folder of my website, the folder that you mentioned above, or some other folder?
I mean whatever folder you're using for your web content - by default that's either /Library/WebServer/Documents, or the 'Sites' directory in individual user's home directories.
My point is that any CGI scripts should be outside of the normal web content.

Video plays on Root folder but not in Cgi-bin folder...Help!

Hello-
I just transfered my entire website content form one domain to another and for some reson my videos will not play on the new domain whereas they played correctly in the cg-bin folder of the old domain. I do not understand why and need your help to figure it out since I am not a flash guy.
Here is the link to the videos that are not working correctly. http://www.healthywaterlife.com/cgi-bin/d.cgi/phil/videos.html
My cgi guy says that all of the cgi is working correctly and he has stated that the problem lies within the code of the html. So here is the html code for one of the videos...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="605" height="350" id="FLVPlayer1">
           <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
           <param name="salign" value="lt" />
           <param name="quality" value="high" />
           <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
           <param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" />
           <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/historyofkangenwater&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=fals e" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="605" height="350" name="FLVPlayer1" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" />
</object>
And yes, my server, codero, supports all of the cgi as the old domain worked well and was operating on the codero server.
Thanks for your help!

Are you sure that all the files have been uploaded?
The player.swf, the skin.swf, the actual .flv video file, and what about any javascript files used for Flash detection? So that could be as many as 4 files.
To test, paste the entire absolute address to each of those files directly into your browser address bar, like this:
http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
You should not see ANY file not found messages.
After verifying that each file exists on the server, then it's only a matter of correctly pathing all the Flash assets, and pathing includes correctly spelling file names (upper or lower case.. must be exact) as well using correct folder names.
To review Flash pathing:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Servlets in the CGI-BIN

Can servlets go in the CGI-BIN???
my server has a CGI-BIN.... does it surport servlets??

Servlets were conceived to replace cgi-bin programming.
Servlets can be put anywhere, even in the cgi-bin folder, but servlets need a servlet engine to run, such as Tomcat(jakarta.apache.org/tomcat) or Jrun (from www.macromedia.com), among others.

Cgi-bin, form set-up

I want to create a registry on our website wherein a customer can setup his/her own registry page, type in what products he/she wants, their quantities, etc.
I understand that to do this one has first to have a "cgi-bin" file on their site to which all such forms point.
I currently cannot find any cgi-bin folder on our site. So, am I correct in stating I need one, and if so, how do I go about creating same?
Bill

First you mention cgi processing of scripts and then databases? There is no necessary connection between the two.
cgi form processing has largely been replaced by PHP or other server side languages. Again, there is no connection between PHP/ASP and server-side includes. You can have one without the other.
You will have to find out from your host what they offer. You will also need to determine what it is that you want to do. Two separate yet equally important questions.

Creating CGI bin

Hello everyone,
I need to create a CGI bin folder for my site and "change the
permission",
but I don't know how to do it. Could someone please help me
with this? I
can't seem to be able to figure it out :-(
Thank you very much for your time!

Hi Victoria,
As long as the cgi-bin folder doesn't have to be outside your
normal file
structure, you can just create the folder.
There is a Permissions extension you can use in Dreamweaver
to "change the
permission"; have a look at
http://www1.umn.edu/securclt/ftp/dreamweaver.html#permissions,
where they
show you how to download, install and use it.
HTH,
Pete.

Configuring the CGI-Executables folder on the webserver

would like to install w3perl for squid statistics on a MAC running 10.5, the folder in which to place the perl scripts is indicated as /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/w3perl, the scripts are already in this folder
When i run the installation from the browser, I get an error
The requested URL /w3perl/confstat.pl was not found on this server
what could be the problem? the w3perl folder is in the CGI-Executables and the file confstat.pl is in the folder w3per;
have I not defined the CGI executables folder properly? how do i know i have configured the CGI-executables properly

If your script is in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/w3perl/confstat.pl then the URL for that CGI would be:
http://your.server.net/cgi-bin/w3perl/confstat.pl
The URI needs the leading /cgi-bin in order for Apache to interpret it as a CGI request and route it to the CGI-Executables directory.

Where is /cgi-bin/ and who puts files in it?

One of my clients is trying to make a form work with /cgi-bin/mailto but I can't figure out:
1) Where is the global /cgi-bin/ supposed to be?
2) Who is responsible for putting files in it?
Thanks!

If you wan't to make the CGIs work server-wide, the default location is /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables. The default web server setting already has a ScriptAlias directive pointing any address written as www.example.com/cgi-bin redirect to this directory. The global webmaster... the server administrator is responsible for all CGIs in this directory.
If you want to let each individual webmasters take care of their own CGIs, each website can override this by creating their own cgi directory within their own web directory. This directory can be named anything (e.g. "/scripts/"). Generic form-to-mail type CGIs are usually placed in the /Library/Web... directory for global usage, but if a script is only used by a single website, it's usually put inside their own web directory. You may want to tweak their httpd.conf file to assign this folder as the ScriptAlias target. When you do this, websites can execute the CGIs with the .cgi extension (i.e. pass the script on to whatever compiler/interpretor, like perl). Otherwise, you'll need to name each script like scriptname.pl or scriptname.c instead of scriptname.cgi.

Is it necessary to put .java file in 'bin' folder

when ever i am creating a .java file i have to put that in bin folder then only javac compiling the file.
otherwise its not compiling the file.
how can i compile my java file by putting in any folder of mine?
even if i am creating any folder inside the bin folder then also its not compiling my .java file.

when ever i am creating a .java file i have to put
that in bin folder then only javac compiling the
file.That's a huge mistake. You should never do that.
otherwise its not compiling the file.
how can i compile my java file by putting in any
folder of mine?Add the Java /bin directory to your PATH so the operating system can find the javac.exe and java.exe apps.
even if i am creating any folder inside the bin
folder then also its not compiling my .java file.Then you've got a bigger problem. You must have compiler errors that you need to read and fix in your source code.

DLL in "\Program Files\...\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\" folder

Hi!
Anyone, please, tell me
1. Why some assembly are in this folder - "\Program Files\...\Web Server Extensions\15\BIN\"?
2. What kind of assembly must be there?
About year ago I have a problem with my custom solution, it can't found one of my dll, although it was in GAC. After I put it in BIN folder, it worked. Now I have a similar problem - I have dll in GAC, but page through error "assembly not found".
This error repeated through time, I can't understand why...

Hi
If your DLL are in bin folder of web application then your solution is sandbox solution and if its in GAC then its Farm solution.
so if you deployee any custom solution as sandbox then your DLL should be in BIN folder of web application
Check below link which can help to more understanding about dll deployment

Pointing ItunesU.class to a cgi-bin directory.

Our school is setting up an ITuneU page and we have successfully compiled the ITunesU.class file but for some reason our web server does not have a cgi-bin directory to put these files into. Can we put the Java files into a different directory or is cgi-bin required?

Our Itunes university is up and running.

lllaass,
Thank you for responding. I did not create a new ID. I went to Manage Your ID when changing my email. However, my problem is resolved. I called support and recieved help there.
Somehow my Ipod either wasn't registered to my Apple ID (even though I bought it from the Apple Store) or the registration didn't transfer with the email address change.
For some reason, though, I did lose all of my previous imessage conversations just because I switched my Apple ID email address. I also had to resync my Google accounts to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.
Strange, but everything seems to be relatively back to normal now.
