How do I upload a script?
Uploading a cgi script to your virtual server is simple. Login to your virtual server using FTP, once logged in go to the directory where you want to upload your cgi script to. Make sure that your FTP client is set to ASCII mode (if you upload in binary then your script will not work), upload your cgi script ensuring that it has a .cgi extension.
What are permissions and how do I set them?
To make a script work then you must make the script executable, you do this by setting the permissions on the script. A cgi script should be given the following permissions:- 755 or owner=read/write/execute, group=read/execute, world=read/execute
My cgi script isn't working can you fix it for me?
No, unfortunately we can not provide support for scripts that do not work. Instead you should contact the author of the script for support.
