Create CGI - To write a CGI file and transfer it to the server.

This window lets you specify some parameters and creates a CGI. The CGI must be saved by the same filename (case-sensitive) as that specified in the URL.

The URL of CGI must be specified in full. i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/sitetracker.cgi  and **not** as /cgi-bin/sitetracker.cgi

In most cases, the remaining parameters can be left as default. If, however, the server has a different pathname for perl, sendmail or blat, please type those in.

The logfile record dir can be left as /Wsc in which case it will be created by the CGI under the 'Docroot' of the webserver. 

If you wish to specify another directory for the logfile, please type its full UNIX-style pathname. Also, make sure that the directory exists and has write privilege to the CGI (i.e. chmod 777 dirname)

 
URL of CGI - Give the full URL of the CGI as e.g.
http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/sitetracker.cgi  DO NOT use the secure server call (e.g. https://...)

Perl Path - The UNIX-style pathname for the perl.exe program. Only required in the case of UNIX webservers.

Sendmail Path - The UNIX-style pathname for the sendmail.exe program. Only required in the case of UNIX webservers. 

Mail Program - For an NT or Windows' server  a mail client is required. This is not a standard installation on many servers. You must ask your ISP to install 'blat.exe' in the Window's directory and type its full pathname in the fields above.

WebServer - Select your webserver type.

  • Click 'Save Settings' when done.
  • Click 'Create The CGI' and give a filename the same as the one given under URL of CGI. 
  • Then click 'Upload CGI' to transfer the CGI to your webserver.
