   STEP SEVEN:  Uploading To Your Server

    This step will explain where to upload the files to your server.   You must already have an understanding of your web server setup and FTP.

    UPLOADING .CGI FILES
   
UPLOADING .TXT FILES
    
UPLOADING THE HTML FILES

 

 

    UPLOADING .CGI FILES

    It is recommended that you upload all the .cgi files to a sub directory instead your cgi-bin directory (example:  /cgi-bin/sr/). 

    You must upload the .cgi files in ASCII/Text mode. 

    Change the file permissions (chmod) of all the .cgi files to 755.   Most FTP programs support this.  If yours does not, you can also telnet into your server and chmod the files there.

 

    UPLOADING THE .TXT FILES

    Upload the .txt files to the same directory as the .cgi files.

    You must upload the .txt files in ASCII/Text mode. 

    Change the file permissions (chmod) of all the .txt files to either 666 (on most servers) or 777 (2nd option if things do not appear to work correctly).

 

    UPLOADING THE HTML FILES

    If your server allows you to run cgi scripts outside the /cgi-bin/ directory, then you can upload the display.cgi to anywhere on your server.  Your HTML files must be uploaded to the same directory as the display.cgi.
