View source for Setting Up CGI Scripts on the CS Webservers

== Running your CGI script ==

To run your cgi-script via a web browser, use the following format (replace "''username''" with your username and "test.pl" with your script name.)

''(Note: Your cgi-script should reside in your public_html/cgi-bin directory.)''

* On the CS ''Grad'' Net: <tt><nowiki>http://</nowiki>www.cs.jhu.edu/~''username''/cgi-bin/test.pl</tt>
* On the CS ''Ugrad'' Net: <tt><nowiki>http://</nowiki>www.ugrad.cs.jhu.edu/~''username''/cgi-bin/test.pl</tt>

== Creating Your First CGI Script ==

''CS Faculty, Grad Students, Staff, Researchers and Post Docs:  Log into one of the [[Linux Clients on the CS Grad/Research Net|CS Grad Net Linux machines]].''

''CS Ugrad Students:  Log into one of the [[Linux Clients on the CS Undergrad Net|CS Ugrad Net Linux machines]].''

 cd ~/public_html/cgi-bin

Create your CGI script in the <tt>cgi-bin</tt> directory. 

 chmod 704 test.pl            # Replace the name "test.pl" with your script name.
