How do I run my own CGI programs?

What permissions will I need to set my CGI scripts to in order to have them run properly?
CGI scripts only need to be chmod 755 to run. Additionally, scripts should NOT be put at 777 on any server. This is a huge security risk and opens your account up to all sorts of possible abuse. If you have any scripts chmoded to 777, then please change them to 755 immediately.
How do I change the default root document?
You can use the .htaccess file to specify what file should be loaded as your default page whenever a directory or URL request comes in that does not specify a specific page. Eg, You might have yourdomain.com/index7.html and you want this to be your root document Simply add: DirectoryIndex filename.html In a .htaccess file and upload it to your site via FTP. This would cause filename.html to be treated as your default page, or default directory page. You can also append other filenames to it.
How do I block visitors from my site?
In your htaccess file, add the following code--changing the IPs to suit your needs--each command on one line each: order allow,deny deny from 123.45.6.7 deny from 012.34.5. allow from all You can deny access based upon IP address or an IP block. The above blocks access to the site from 123.45.6.7, and from any sub domain under the IP block 012.34.5. (012.34.5.1, 012.34.5.2, 012.34.5.3, etc.) You can also set an option for deny from all, which would of course deny everyone. You can also allow or deny by domain name rather than IP address (allow from .friendsite.com works, etc.)
What does the 'premature end of script headers' error mean?
99% of the time, this is caused by improper permission settings. Make sure you have the proper permissions set on your script (CHMOD 755). You should also make sure that you are using a text-only editor such as notepad or UltraEdit to edit your scripts.
What is the path to Perl?
