Running CGI scripts on the CS server

• Just to be sure, your html stuff has to be in the public_html subdirectory off your home directory on the CS machines.
• The CGI scripts have to be in the cgi-bin subdirectory inside of "public_html".
• To ensure that you can't mess up other people's files, your scripts are run under your name and not the web-servers name. You do this with the CGIWrap program. Suppose you want some form information to be processed by a script called "script.cgi." You would insert "cgiwrap/myusernamehere" into the value of the action attribute of the form tag in your form file. Obviously, you replace "myusernamehere" with your own user name.

  <form action="/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/myusernamehere/script.cgi" method="post">

• You gotta make sure that the protections on your files are set properly. Here are some directions to this end.
