Unfortunately you cannot do this on the main lab server. The lab web server is a mission critical server and we cannot allow user-written code to run on it. Scripts may introduce security holes, or simply consume excessive resources. However, there is now a separate server www-dyn.cl.cam.ac.uk that has only access to a small part of the departmental file server and where CGI and PHP scripts can be executed.
