Personal PPP users can request their own CGI-BIN directories for writing 
custom HTML applications.

ATTENTION BUSINESS PPP ACCOUNTS: This feature is already enabled for your
Business account on the Business server. You do not need to request cgi-bin
access unless you want it for your Personal account on smarty. 

===============================
REQUESTING A CGI-BIN DIRECTORY
===============================

Send email to manage@smart.net.  You will have cgi-bin access within 24 
hours.  You can go ahead and set up your cgi-bin directory (keep reading) 
in the meantime.

NOTE:  Everywhere you see "username", substitute your actual username.

====================================================
SETTING UP A CGI-BIN DIRECTORY IN YOUR UNIX ACCOUNT
====================================================

Log in to your UNIX Shell account by telnetting to "smart.net".
To telnet in Windows 95, go to Start | Programs | MSDOS Prompt and type
"telnet smart.net" at the DOS prompt. You will be asked to log in.

There is a command on our system called "wwwnew". If you have already read
and followed the Help on Posting a web page, you have already executed
this command, and it created a "www" directory and a "cgi-bin" directory.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN, so go on to the next part. 

If you do not have a www or cgi-bin directory, then you need to execute
the command.  From the smarty prompt, type "wwwnew" and press enter. Your
www and cgi-bin directories will be created for you. 

If you already had a www directory but don't have a cgi-bin directory, go 
ahead and run the wwwnew command anyway - you will just get an error when it 
tries to create the www directory (which already exists). Ignore the error.

=============================
USING YOUR CGI-BIN DIRECTORY
=============================

Now you can write/use cgi programs.  Be sure to place them in your 
cgi-bin directory.

When you access a cgi program from your web page, the program has this link 
address:

	/username-cgi-bin/yourcgiprogram


====================================
SPECIAL NOTES FOR BUSINESS ACCOUNTS
====================================

If you have a Business Account, don't forget that your account is on the 
web server, which is a separate machine. The machine's name depends on
when you signed up - check your Welcome email for more details.
You do not need to request cgi-bin access on that machine, it is already 
there for you. Remember that your web pages and cgi programs go on that 
machine, and not on smarty.

If you have a registered domain name, there is no difference in how your 
programs are called; it is still:

	/username-cgi-bin/yourcgiprogram

If you have any questions, email "webmaster@smart.net".

Have Fun!
