In
the CGI Center you will find pre-installed CGI
scripts for your site. If you have some
programming knowledge you might want to download
some of the third-party Perl scripts that are
available in the Free
Downloads section of our website. If you
install your own scripts please refer to the CGI
Scripts menu of our Web
Hosting Support section for general script
installation instructions and server paths.
The following scripts are pre-installed and
available on the CGI Center:
CGI Wrapper:
The CGI Wrapper is a gateway program that allows
users to run CGI scripts without compromising
the security of the web server. The CGI Wrapper
allows the scripts to run with the permissions
of the user who owns the script. It is
configured to run user scripts which are located
in the /public_html/cgi-bin/ directory. You can
enable the CGI Wrapper by clicking on this
feature.
Random HTML Generator:
The Random HTML Generator randomly generates
text on your web page. It picks an HTML string
out of a list and inserts it in an SSI (Server
Side Includes) enabled web page. You page needs
to have an .shtml extension for this feature to
work. To setup the Random HTML Generator simply
click on it and input the text that you wish to
have generated randomly.
Guest Book:
The Guest Book is a simple guest book generator.
To setup this feature click on it and then copy
and paste the code generated into your page.
Counter:
This feature allows you to setup a counter, a
clock, or a date box for a page on your website.
You need to generate the code for each script
that you want to use. To setup this feature
select the radio button for the specific script
that you want to generate, select options and
click on Make HTML, then simply copy and
paste the code provided into your web page.
Clock:
This utility will create a real time java clock
for your site. Very similar to the clock
available inside the counter option. To setup
this feature select the options that you want
and click Save to generate the HTML code
to insert into your pages.
Countdown:
This will create a countdown box that counts
down to a specified date. To setup the Countdown
enter the date that you would like to count down
to and click on Make HTML to generate the
HTML code to insert into your pages.
CGI Email:
CGI Email is a CGI program written in C for
Unix. It takes the input of an HTML form and
converts it to an email format defined by the
author of the form. By doing this the resulting
email messages are easy to sort through. Using
CGI Email requires more work than using Forms to
Email programs such as FormMail. However, users
with no programming experience can follow the
simple step-by-step instructions in the CGI
Email user guide. To enable this feature, simply
click on it, you will then find instructions for
setting it up.
FormMail Clone:
FormMail Clone is a clone of Matt Wright's
FormMail.cgi under a less restrictive license.
It should behave almost exactly as FormMail.cgi,
however, with it you are not able to customize
the script at all and the output of your form
results arrive in alphabetical order. To enable
the FormMail Clone just click on it. The path to
use in your forms is: http://yourdomain.com/cgi-sys/FormMail.cgi.
Entropy Search:
This is a simple search engine that will index
the pages within your domain. To setup the
Entropy Search click on Setup Search Engine
and you will be provided with the HTML code that
you will need to insert in your pages where you
want the search box to appear. Once you have
entered the code into your pages and have
uploaded them to your account, revisit this area
and click on Rebuild Search Index to
complete the installation.
Entropy Banner:
Entropy Banner is a simple random banner
generator. You can use Entropy Banner to display
random banners on your web pages. To setup this
feature click on it, copy and paste the code
into the pages where you would like to show the
banners. To add banners, click on Add Banners.
You can also modify the Rotation of the banners
by clicking on Modify Rotation.
NOTE: You must name your pages that
contain the code for your banner rotation with
the extension .shtml in order for this feature
to work.
