scripts

Hi can anyone tell me how this works with FP 03.

Using Tripod for hosting and the scripts don't seem to
work so I now read that there is a certain way to go
about this. It all seems confusing to me and just
wondering if there is a short cut.

Thanks. Here is the link with all the info

No shortcuts that I know of.
You need to follow their directions for your script to work properly.

If "this" was as simple as you'd like to think, people would be paid minimum
wage to do it.

Roll up your sleeves, and start learning.

Ok thanks I take it this is not necessary with all
hosting companies. In your opinion is this a lot of work
and worth it? will this create more work for me down the
road if and when I change hosting companies? will I have
to redo all the scripts?

Thanks a bunch

No you won't have to redo them. A cgi script is a cgi script, and all servers ( that I know of )
run them from a folder named cgi-bin
