    5 The following are instructions for setting up your account to be able to
    6 use cgiwrap to execute cgi scripts. It is assumed that you are familiar
    7 with writing CGI scripts and writing HTML documents for the WWW. 
    8 
    9 <P>
   10 In the following instructions, the following information is assumed:
   11 <UL>
   12     <LI>UserID: <TT>joe</TT>
   13     <LI>Home Directory: <TT>/users/joe</TT>
   14     <LI>CGI Directory: <TT>/users/joe/public_html/cgi-bin</TT>
   15     <LI>Name of Script: <TT>script.pl</TT>
   16     <LI>Web Server: <TT>www.domain.com</TT>
   17 </UL>
   18 <P> 
   19 
   20 If you do not already have a cgi-bin directory set up, create one:
   21 <UL>
   22     <LI>cd ~joe
   23     <LI>mkdir public_html
   24     <LI>mkdir public_html/cgi-bin
   25 </UL>
   26 
   27 <P>If you are using AFS, you will need to set the AFS permissions on the 
   28 directories. See <A HREF="afs.html">Use of CGIwrap with AFS</A> for 
   29 details on the necessary permissions.
   30 
   31 <P>Install the script into the cgi-bin directory, and set the proper execution 
   32 permissions on the file.
   33 <UL>
   34     <LI><TT>cp script.pl ~joe/public_html/cgi-bin/script.pl</TT>
   35     <LI><TT>chmod 755 ~joe/public_html/cgi-bin/script.pl</TT>

   39 <UL>
   40     <LI><TT>http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/joe/script.pl</TT>
   41 </UL>
   42 
   43 <P>If you wish to see debugging output for your CGI, specify <B>cgiwrapd</B>
   44 instead of <B>cgiwrap</B>, as in the following URL:
   45 <UL>
   46     <LI><TT>http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrapd/joe/script.pl</TT>
   47 </UL>
   48 
   49 <P>If the script is an <TT>nph-</TT> style script, you will need to run 
   50 it using the following URL's:
   51 <UL>
   52     <LI><TT>http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/nph-cgiwrap/joe/script.pl</TT>
