Adding
Dynamic Web Content
This document explains how to add support for dynamic web
pages, including:
CGI Scripts
To add CGI support, it will suffice to create a CGI alias
or, in other words, to specify a CGI file extension and a
CGI handler for it, for instance Perl. For example, you can
specify that all *.cgi files must be treated as executable
Perl scripts.
To add a CGI alias, do the following:
- On the control panel home page, click Web Options.
Select the domain if you have more than one.
- On the Web Service page that shows, scroll down
to find the CGI-dir option and turn it on. Now all
files in the cgi-bin directory will be treated as CGI executables.
This is the directory to place all your cgi scripts.
- On the Web Service page, scroll down to find the
CGI option and click the Add icon on its right.
- Enter an extension beginning with a dot and select the
handler from the list:
