Hi, new XOOPS user here:

Where do I copy my cgi scripts to, to test-drive them using XOOPS?

I tried copying into WWW folder, but that didn't work. I copied them into the CGI-BIN, but I don't know how to access them in my browser. For example, if I typehttp://localhost/ , I'll see the contents of the www folder and will be able to test-drive scripts, but that doesn't help with cgi scripts.

Anyway, where do the cgi scripts go, and what http address should I use to access them?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Much obliged.

Sincerely, Tom.

cgi scripts normally go in /cgi-bin and (if security is properly set up) must be called explicitly (that is, you can't browse the directory - you should get a 403 error).

So, if you were trying to run a script called prng.pl you would enterhttp://localhost/cgi-bin/prng.pl in the brower's address bar.

You can always use the myiframe module to link to the cgi files and run them within the XOOPS frameset.
