CGI Scripts |
| To

menu.
2.Click the Edit icon in the Web Service field.
3.On the Web Service page that shows, scroll
down to find the CGI-dir option and turn it
on. Now all files in the cgi-bin directory will
be treated as CGI executables. This is the directory

4.On the Web Service page, scroll down to find
the CGI option and click the Add icon on its

select the handler from the lis |
