CGI on Gibson

• I have created an entry in two configuration files on Gibson (access.conf & srm.conf) that allows cgi files to be recognized and executed.
• This requires that you put all cgi files in your cgi-bin directory under public_html (make sure to chmod 755 on cgi-bin)
• If you are using perl, the first line of your program must be #!/usr/bin/perl
• This will envoke the perl interpreter which will interpret and execute your program
• Don't forget to chmod 755 on all of your perl programs
• Before you test your programs over the Internet, you can also run your perl program locally on Gibson by typing ./filename (e.g. ./hello.pl where hello.pl would be the name of a perl program)
• Let me know if you have any trouble

Examples

• Hello World   Hello World (Source Code)
• Simple   Simple (Source Code)
