CGI BIN
I think I may have done something wrong with my cgi bin as it is accessible by typing the url in the browser eg www.myhost.com/cgi-bin
It should say that you are not authorised to view this page, shouldn't it.

I am very new to cgi, so do I need to chmod my cgi-bin or what.

I would appreciate any help.

There are some codes that you can write in your .htaccess file that will hide directory listings.

Quick and dirty fix..upload a html file (like index.shtml or index.html) that says "You are not authorized to view this page" to your /cgi-bin/ directory.

To find the codes to write in your .htaccess file, search this forum for Threads that discuss this issue.
