cgi problem.

[Question]

How can I upload cgi script? I followed the instruction and uploaded to ftp
site, but I still have error message.

1. You are uploading with a 3rd Party FTP application, not with FP, correct?

2. You web host may need to set permissions or you have via a control panel, see the instruction
that cam with the CGI script, etc.

3. Contact the author of the script for help.

To where in your web did you upload it?
It needs to be in the cgi-bin folder.

Make sure you upload it as ASCII text, and not whatever that other choice
is.

It "should" publish as ascii by default.
File types that are supposed to be published as ascii files are set in the registry here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage

cgi is in the list.

But note I said "should."

..cgi, .pl and .pm (Perl) files publish as binary in all versions of
FrontPage (discovered this the hard way in FP2000 and FP2002) - they are
NOT in the list of ascii (text) files in FP2003 by default.

For Question (the OP) In any case, if uploading to a Unix server the
files must have permissions changed - CHMOD to 755 - in order to run.
This can only be done using 3rd party FTP client or the server Control
Panel.

Sure they are. I didn't add them.

Your mileage is different to mine, then - I had to add them.

- Yes, I used 3rd party FTP application.

2. You web host may need to set permissions or you have via a control panel, see the instruction

- I contacted web server company and they just said upload file with ASCII
mode.

3. Contact the author of the script for help.

- That is a good idea. I will do that.
