CGI Problems
All cgi scripts have to be located in the cgi-bin,
which should be placed outside of the public_html

usually it is with the script itself, so make sure

way:
Translate your login name to the directory structure:
example login: ux210223
respective directory tree: /ux21/0/223/
/uxNN/S/III/
| | |
| | +-last IP byte
| +-subnet number
+-server
usage examples:
/ux21/0/223/cgi-bin/test_env.cgi
/ux21/0/223/form.html
Important
note:
You
can use the traditional /home/
/
as
well. Using this link will work no matter what server

Why does accessing directories with
my own secure certificate only work when a trailing
slash is included?
Problem
Solution: The
solution to this problem is to specify a direct
path to the file. For instance, a request for image.gif
that is located in /ux111111/images/ would have
to be specified as /ux111111/images/image.gif.
Problem Description: Usually,
the external redirect gets sent to the client's
browser and the trailing slash gets added automatically.
Due to the internal configuration specifications,
we cannot do so because your secure certificate
is located on the SSL server, which is a server
that is independent from the server where your website
is located. Instead, we have to use an internal
rewrite, which works for the directory page, but
goes wrong when any images are included into this
page with relative URLs, because the browser requests
an in-lined object. Therefore, relative links will
not work through the secure connection.
