cgi-bin maybe trouble

mag00 · Oct 20, 2004

I'm trying to fix a bug on a web site and the pages are loaded in the cgi-bin folder. If you check this site at the bottom the privacy statement, contact us, etc give a 404 error.

I checked the web space and everything seem to be ok and the pages are there, but just doesn't display. I downloaded the page file and it opened from my desktop (minus pictures). So when I mouse over and past that in the addy behind the domain 404 apache. So on the web space I noticed that cgi was in a folder public_html and added that in the appropriate place and still nothing.

So what the heck is cgi-bin for?

Here is the page to be loaded, can you see anything wrong with this scritp? Or is it a routing to this that is not correct.

ftp.aphrodisiabeverage.com then public_html then cgi-bin then ducs then display then o__content_cms then thats where I find th i__2.htm and others that won't display.

OK so I pulled the file and duplicated it and put in with the folder with index_html and now when I type aphrodisia beverage.com/i__2.htm it displays. So now do I have to go and change all the href on all the pages or will the css take care of that?

What the heck is CGI for?

spose I could google, but that would take the fun out of it wouldn't it?

the cgi-bin is used to hold all your cgi code. its just a way of keeping it all together. its kind of a standard. all files in this dir should be .cgi and not .htm or .html or anything else.

Having any other files would not make any difference its just the way it is.

So if I change the htm to .cgi the pages could possibly work? Otherwise I have to go through and see what was even needed for it to be in the cgi-bin and then copy and re direct all the clickable related to this on all the pages, sounds tedious.

I was hoping for it to be a simple glitch instead of changing code 0n each page. If it is just the tag, well no worries, still time consuming.
