I just did my first install of Linux using Slackware. Everything's
been great, except that I can't seem to bring any .html page in
the cgi-bin directory. I get 404 "the page not found."

How do I configure the cgi-bin directory so it will show web
pages needed to run scripts?

Thanks,

Mike

That rather depends on the HTTP server software you are running (which you
didn't specify, so check the manual for that server), but why? The
directory is put aside for CGI executables, not for static pages - they
should exist outside the cgi-bin.

I bought a script for an on-line word-like text editor where several users can
work on the document. The instructions are minimal; it only says to upload
to the server, set permissions, and go. But the script also requires the use of
several .html pages. I'm going to try to put the .html pages on the public_html
and point to the cgi script.

But I hoped I could just upload to the server and go, as the docs say. I would
send the code, but since I paid for it (nominal 10 bucks, but payment nonetheless),
I probably should not.

It says free installation support, but the guy never wrote back.

Then you should demand your money back.

Since you paid real money for it, this amounts to fraud.

He's not answering that request either.
