What CGI are you using? Perl or PHP? .htaccess is purely an UNIX / Apache thing. It won't work on windows. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Hi bruce Thank you for your reply ... It is Perl - CGI but I got an answer to this issue from the support-team: I'm afraid that Perl support was discontinued on new servers as of January 18, 2007 and your account was establish on October 29, 2007 and accounts established after that date do not have access to Perl. Thanks for your attention Gerry Post Edited (CooperMan) : 4/29/2008 8:49:32 PM GMT
Hi all! I need to install a file named 'cgitest.cgi' on my hostingaccount, to test if a product i want to implement will run on this server. I am not familiar with cgi and dont know how to do this. I copied the file cgitest.cgi in the cgi-bin folder and tried to run it by calling 'www.mydommain.com/cgi-bin/cgitest.cgi' But in my webbrowser I always get the error-message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please try the following: * Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly. * If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted. * Click the Back button to try another link. HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS) Technical Information (for support personnel) * Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 404. * Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom Error Messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do I have to set some kind of permissions in the Control Panel? Or do I have to activate CGI to make it work? I have checked the permissionmanager and it says that there ist r/w access on the directory \myhost00001\cgi-bin Username Read Write anonymous Allow Allow I Also insertet a .htaccess file in the cgi-bin folder (AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl) which should help out said Google /emoticons/wink.gif ... .but it doesnt Can anybody help me out and support me to solve this please?
