MUST READ or YOU FAILED
Downloading, Uploading, Unzipping and Installing of CGI programs are NOT as straight forward as the counterparts (ASP, JSP and XML). The followings are normally required:

Step 1 - Unzip the cgifiles.zip file using WinZip or a similar program. This should leave you with a directory named /store that contains all of the necessary .cgi and .pl and sometimes .html files.

Step 2 - Upload this entire directory to your /cgi-bin. All of these files MUST be transfered in ASCII mode!!! The ONLY exceptions to this are the files contained in the directory ./html/images (for example) which need to be transferred in BINARY mode.

Step 3 - Do the necessary chmod (e.g. 755 or 644) to each affected files.

Step 4 - Check that the correct path to perl on your system has been reflected in the program/PERL script. This line should look something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -T

Step 5 - Refer to books and supplementary notes by Hamilton if you are still not sure.
 


 
Scripts were developed for Apache Web server and Unix platform use. 


Bear in mind that, lots of customization required even though you get the complete set of files from the Internet (read below)

Note: You do not have the permission to directly download .pl and .cgi files from my account. Only zip files can be downloaded from this page.

 


 
===QUICK START (UNIX)===

1. Make a directory that is given write permissions.

2. Open the script with a plain text editor (vi, pico or emacs) and edit the first line of the configuration section to point to the directory you just made.  Also, edit the first line of the script to point to the perl executable on your system.

3. Put your_cgi_file.cgi in your cgi-bin dir and give it executable permissions.
