CgiScripts

OFB has two user CGI handlers. Use whichever one makes you happier.

• suexec

First create a symlink so that /home/yourname/public_html is also a link to your personal document root:

    ln -sf ~/www/data ~/public_html

Now any file anywhere under your personal document root with the extension .cgi will be run as a cgi script. suexec has a number of mysterious and exacting rules for permissions and such; if you're getting an error going to your page, check out the logs in /var/log/apache/suexec.log.

• cgiwrap

cgiwrap scripts go in your ~/www/cgi directory and have the extension .cgiw. They are called as http://ofb.net/cgiwrap/username/script.cgiw

You can also use the extension .cgid to get a debugging dump if things aren't working.

NOTE: unlike on UGCS, the extension 'cgiw' is required
