Many servers allow you to execute CGI/Perl scripts in any folder in your server, but since your server has a "cgi-bin" folder called cgi, then use that.

Your server path can be found by inputting the following command line via telnet:

Code:

pwd


When you get your FULL Path, use this and add cgi for your cgi variables (like $db_script_path in the links.cfg file. For relative paths, like with the url variables (like $build_root_url), you can use your domain address and then add a relative path like links/pages to it.

You should not build your pages in your cgi folder.

Hope this helps.

I did the pwd... & I get home/webs4biz
Therefore should I FTP all the files in a sub dir of cgi? New to this, thanks for the help!!!
