RE: [cobalt-users] CGIIIIIIII!!!!

["Paul Alcock" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All my cgis that use sendmail are set to $mailprog="/usr/lib/sendmail";
but just in case here is my regular list of things to check when a cgi fails
to run.
1. Ensure the scripts are uploaded as ASCII, they will not run if uploaded
in binary.
2. The scripts should be chmod 0777 till you get them to work after that
remove the write permissions to all but the owner 0755
3. Ensure the first line of the script points to the correct perl location.
   On a RAQ that is normally #!/usr/bin/perl
4. Ensure that the user you use to upload the cgi's is not admin or root!
   They should be uploaded by the site administrator login, not the server
admin.
