SUBJECT:  RE: [cobalt-users] Creating cgi-bin?

Hi,

Just FTP into your server, and create a cgi-bin directory. The RaQ server allows you to run cgi scripts anywhere on your server, so that is why you don't have a cgi-bin directory.
The bad thing is security. Anyone can access your cgi-bin, and can see what your have there.
The only thing I know to do is to create a blank index.html file and put it in your cgi-bin directory.
If there is a way to make this directory un-accessable, I would like to know.
