I want to upload a counter. I have to place textdb.pl in a CGI-enabled directory of my web site. What does that mean? and how do i do that?
If your host supports cgi then you’ll see a folder named “cgi” or “cgi_bin” or something like that where you should place your cgi script. If you don’t see it then chances are your host doesn’t support it. You’ll have to check with your host about it.
If your host supports PHP it may be easier to have a counter in PHP. that way your counter script is embeded in the HTML file instead of being seperate in a CGI_BIN folder. I’ve never used my CGI folder, so I’m not sure; I just got hooked on PHP. You could do a search in this forum for PHP counters, there are tons of scripts for it. (-:
