URL to cgi-bin

[dichaeld]

Hi i am new to cgi and i am installing an image folio however it requires me to type in the url for the cgi-bin and i dont know how to do that since the cgi-bin is outside of the htdocs i am pretty sure this is a simple question but it would really help if i could get da answer

Also when it asks for full path to the location of somtin do i type c:/etc.. or the path relating to folder which the file i am editing is in. The answer to this question would also be of much help too.

Thanks Alot

check your console
> Server Configuration > Advanced > Aliases
you should have the path for cgi-bin in the aliases section..
virtual path: /cgi-bin
real path: the path to your cgi-bin

and when it asks for the full path you can do it like you said c:/etc...

Wow thanks for the help. but even though i changed the location to cgi-bin for some reason i cant view imageFolio.cgi instead i get a 500 error

well atleast u know your getting to the cgi now

try adding this
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
to the second line of the cgi file it may help with finding the 500 error

try checking your config file for bad paths or urls
