Adding Generic CGI Script
You have access to simple CGI wizards to enhance
your sites with the following scripts: All CGI scripts for a particular site
are stored in the cgi-bin directory,
unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally
delete any files in the cgi-bin directory,
you can recover them by going to the Web
Options page and clicking the Restore
to default link. Your existing files remain
untouched, so you will not lose your changes.
To get rid of undesirable changes in the script
files, delete these files and then click the
Restore to default link on the Web
Options page. Also, use the Restore
to default link to fix your temporary
index page to default.
See the Contents
of Your Home Directory chapter of this
manual for more information on the files and
catalogues not to be deleted.
