CGI-BIN Problems

[ultimate]

I am having trouble running things from my cgi-bin. ex: http://ultimatevelocity.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi it gets a 404 error not found. ps i did set permissions to 755 and the path to perl is corrrect. What is wrong?

P.S. I can access cgi script under public_html directory and it will work, i just cant access files under cgi-bin

i have the same problem too. I am trying to make the guestbook script work and everything is set correctly. I get the same error page.

Could someone please help us?

try saving the script as a perl file (*.pl).

Works for me. Also make sure you use strict for peace of mind.

No I cant even access a .html file out of that directory. It is not set up correctly I do believe.

When you say you cant access a html file outside of cg-bin, you mean the script cant access it or nothing can. So you cant get to an index page?

I have a few perl scripts runnning fine. A CMS lite that I made myself with perl and come tools.

The only problems I had with them where bad scripting(forgetting to define globals and syntax errors). They all run as a *.pl and none run as a *.cgi.

The CMS called PhaseONE is over 300 lines and has a few requiers and includes. It logs errors, clicks and so on to text files.

No, you misunderstood me. I can run everything fine outside of the cgi-bin. Even perl scripts. I just cannot access anything at all in the cgi-bin directory.

"P.S. I can access cgi script under public_html directory and it will work, i just cant access files under cgi-bin"

Thats not right ? ? ?

Corey is the only one I can think that could help in that regard.

Edit:
hmm... did you change anything?

Emample: I have a file under public html called test.cgi : http://www.ultimatevelocity.net/test.cgi. It works. I have exact same file under public_html/cgi-bin and http://www.ultimatevelocity.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi file not found. The cgi-bin isnt even found.

No I didnt change anything

The only thing I can think of is post at the end of this thread with a link to an example of a cgi script running outside of the cgi-bin along with your hosting username.

When Corey does his run he will help you no doubt.

Thanks man.

Dear Corey,

I have a file under public html called test.cgi : http://www.ultimatevelocity.net/test.cgi. It works. I have exact same file under public_html/cgi-bin and http://www.ultimatevelocity.net/cgi-bin/test.cgi file not found. The cgi-bin isnt even found.
