Is there an easy way to change the default filename for a Web directory?
Once you’ve established the filename you want to use for your default page, ask your system administrator to make the necessary change to your server’s configuration file for you. For many servers, this file will be called srm.conf. Your Web administrator will simply need to specify in the server’s configuration file what filename you plan to use as the default page to be served up. Dear Dr. Website®: I’ve heard that some Internet service providers don’t let their customers implement forms or imagemaps because they say giving users access to the cgi-bin directory is a security risk. My provider has made accessing the cgi-bin directory convenient for me by putting one under my directory. When I ftp to the site to upload changes, the imagemap or other scripts go into the subdirectory under the directory of my home page, instead of a cgi-bin directory that encompasses the entire server. Why isn’t this option used more? Is it more work for the provider? It seems like a great solution to me
