Hello Im having some major problems with cgi on my account. First off where do I put the script? Do I makde a directory called cgi-sys, cgi-bin or scgi-bin? Ive been using scgi-bin, I put the cgi in and then go to it and I get this everytime with any script:

For that one I was trying to set up a ikonboard. So everytime I got to http://fga.lunarpages.com/scgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi I get that and not what should be happening. Can someone help me please?

Also what is this whole cgi-wraper thing?

ok thank you. I hope somebody can help me because me and some other people have all tried and were having a bad time.

Ok I used the same script so I have it as http://fga.lunarpages.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi instead of http://fga.lunarpages.com/scgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi and now when you go there you get this:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And what would be the right permissions ?

Yep, it is a permission problem...

you need to have the correct file permissions on the cgi files.

please read the installation instructions that came along your script.
