Configuring CGI Scripts Using SSL

This is how to execute CGI scripts under a secure connection. First, you must submit a request to activate SSL feature under your virtual domain.

Remember if you need your secure server name or need your cgi-bin securely enabled please Email us.

Using your local cgi-bin your path would look like this:
https://secure_server.net/your_domain/cgi-bin/somefile.pl

The secure_sever.net represents the server your virtual domain is hosted on.

If you would like to use formmail.pl securely you first need to:

Save a copy of this script on your local hard drive.
Upload the formmail.pl file into your local cgi-bin directory. Then instead of calling the universal cgi-sys directory you would call your own cgi-bin directory. It would look something like this:
https://secure_sever.net/your_domain/cgi-bin/formmail.pl
without .com or .net

What is your server path to perl and sendmail?

Our server path to perl is:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

The path to the sendmail program is:
/usr/lib/sendmail

How do I set permissions inside my SSL cgi-bin?

If the browser returns 'Internal server error' every time you submit your form, you did not have the right permission set for your script. Do the following to set the permission:

Telnet into your cgi-bin directory and issue the following command:
chmod 755 somefile.pl
This will give universal execute permissions for that file
