cgi-bin access

[chrisspectre63]

Hi support, first thanks for a great free hosting account, very pleased. I don't seem to have cgi-bin access. I've just uploaded a script which i'm very familiar with, but i can't install it, i just get a 403 access forbidden error.

Unfortunately, some features which were once available to free hosting users had to be disabled due to continued abuse by some users.

Gahhh, i've responded to this quote 3 times now and it doesn't post!
Anyway....found this service through another site which say's cgi bin is included, maybe you should get them to correct it: http://www.absolutely-free-hosting.com/reviews/X10Hosting.php

Aha! I see......just wondering how do users abuse free hosting sites because i see a lot of hosts complain about this....was curious as to how? (and why?)

Sometimes posts have to be approved by a moderator. Should be sorted out now.

Well, it would not be wise for me to give details about how users abuse and attempt to abuse the servers.

Doh!!! Of course it wouldn't! I didn't think until after posting it, must remember to stop asking stupid questions!!!! Anyways....great hosting account, thanks. Shame about the cgi but beggars can't be choosers, am thankful for what i've got, cheers.
