Configure Shell CGI Directory

Use this page to create a directory in your server's document root that contains only shell CGI files. This feature is only available on the Windows platform.

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 associated with your shell CGI directory. For example, suppose you store all shell CGI files in a directory called C:/docs/programs/cgi/shell-cgi, but you want users to see the directory as http://www.yourserver.com/shell/. In this case, you would type shell as the URL prefix.

Shell CGI Directory

Specifies the absolute path to the directory you created to store the shell CGI files. Make sure that any files in the shell CGI directory also have file associations set in Windows. The server returns an error if it attempts to run a file that has no file-extension association.

The user the server runs as must have read and execute permissions to this directory.

OK

Saves your changes.

Reset
