URL Prefix |
Specifies the URL prefix you want to use for the WINCGI directory. That is, the text you type appears as the directory for the Windows CGI programs in URLs. For example, if you type wcgi-programs as the URL prefix, then all URLs to these Windows CGI programs have the following structure: http://yourserver.domain.com/cgi-bin/program-name The URL prefix can be different from the real Windows CGI directory you specify in the WINCGI Directory field. |
WINCGI Directory |
Specifies the location of the CGI directory as an absolute path. This directory does not have to be under the document root. |
Enable Script Tracing |
Specifies whether your server will use script tracing. CGI parameters are passed from the server to Windows CGI programs through files, which the server normally deletes after the Windows CGI program finishes execution. If you enable script tracing, these files are retained in a /temp directory or wherever the environment variables TMP and TEMP are pointing. Also, any window that the Windows CGI program brings up is shown when script tracing is enabled. |
