We allow direct access to the CGI-BIN directory. The path is www.yourname.com/cgi-bin/yourscript.pl My CGI scripts are not working! There are several reasons why your CGI script is not working: -You have uploaded your CGI script in BINARY mode. -Please use ASCII mode when uploading your CGI scripts. -Your file permissions on your script have not been set. You must change the file permissions on any CGI programs to be world-readable and world-executable. Your FTP client most likely has an option to change the file permissions (or CHMOD). Just set the permissions on that file to 755, or Owner Read & Execute, Group Read & Execute, and World Read & Execute.
