The following are details you will need to know if you are installing scripts on the server.  It is important to note that these items do not apply to all scripts and it is important to consult the README or INSTALL files with your script to determine exactly what they are looking for.

At the top of your PERL scripts you should have:
#!/usr/bin/perl

Our path to sendmail is:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Please note the following paths below.  Please make sure you replace user with whatever your username is and also YourDomain with your domain name.

/home/user/www.YourDomain.com/htdocs         - This is your web files
/home/user/www.YourDomain.com/cgi-bin        - This is the path to your cgi directory and this is also where all cgi programs should be stored.  When you are trying to access your cgi-bin from a browser, you can access it by going: http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/filename.cgi

Also, if you call a cgi program from within a html file, then use:
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/filename.cgi

Your cgi programs can end in .cgi OR .pl

The following is ONLY EXAMPLES AND MAY NOT APPLY to your script.  We are showing you this ONLY as an example, however you should read your install manual in detail to determine what your values should be.

The following would be am example for the domain controlpanelsupport.com in a given script.

Base directory:
The script said:
$basedir=’/home/directory/www.yourdomain.com/htdocs’

so we replaced that line with:
$basedir=’/home/contro/www.controlpanelsupport.com/htdocs’

SERVER SIDE INCLUDES

If your script calls for server side includes then you will want to use .shtml extension. If you are calling the script from within an html page, then you want to refernce it as follows.

1. Make sure your domain has been totally transferred to our company. If you are accessing your site at our preview link, you should wait to test your CGI and programs that use SSI when you can type in your domain name and your site comes up.

2. Files should end in .shtml

3. Do not display have the absolute path like: /home/user/domain/cgi-bin/cgi.pl

However, have: /cgi-bin/cgi.pl

an example would be: <!-- #exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter.cgi" -->
Please note that there is no spaces between <!-- and the #

If you are using SSI to insert text files into pages, then you want to put the text file in your htdocs directory and call it for example:
Header.txt

Then in your .shtml file where you are calling the document use:
<!--#include virtual="Header.txt"-->
