The CGI Wrap script creates a scgi-bin
folder at the public_html level of your web site. This allows you to
run scripts with your own user ID.
|
The advantage of this
is that you can run scripts that have the same permissions that you do
- you can write, edit, and delete files as you normally do. In a
regular cgi-bin folder, you can only do this if you set your directory
permissions to 777 (world access) and file permissions to 666, both of
which are quite dangerous as anyone can now modify your web site.
The disadvantage of this is that if there is a security breach
in your script that another person can exploit, they have access to
your site in the same manner that you do - they can do anything.
However, as long as the scripts you run in the scgi-bin directory are
secure, you have nothing to worry about. |
Be sure to read the CGI Wrap
user guide for more detailed information on using CGI Wrap.
For a more detailed description of the distinction between normal and
wrapped cgi, refer to this article.
To install the Simple CGI Wrapper:
Click on the Simple CGI Wrapper link in the CGI Center area.
Your scgi-bin folder has now been set up. All cgi scripts that you
would like to run under your own user ID should be placed in this
folder. |
