Simple CGI wrapper
 
Overview
This feature allows you to run CGI scripts from your /scgi-bin/ directory using your 
uid (user) to run the script. This means that you, or your web pages can run cgi 
scripts if they are placed in the /scgi-bin/ directory.

 
Steps
1 To access the CGI Center, see
 http://www.infoservemedia.com/support/KB/details.php?
ID=00.1.6.2.512

2 To enable the wrapper, click on the words Simple CGI Wrapper.

3 Place any scripts in  /home/username/public_html/scgi-bin that you wish to be 
able to access from the web. (except /username/ will be your cPanel username)

Troubleshooting
 

Make sure that the scripts you have placed in /scgi-bin/ have the correct 
permissions and filenames to be run properly on your system.
