Configure WinCGI Directory

Use this page to create a directory that contains only Windows CGI programs.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the page. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.

Field or Button
Description

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.

OK

Saves your changes.

Reset

Resets the values on the page to the default values.

Current WINCGI Directories

Lists all Windows CGI directories currently defined for the server. To modify a directory, click Edit in the directory row. To remove a directory from the list, click Remove in the directory row.

Edit

Allows you to edit an existing Windows CGI directory. The URL prefix and directory path appear in the upper portion of the page, ready to be edited.

Remove

Removes a directory from the list of registered Windows CGI directories. The directory itself is not deleted.
