GeneWeb Service Information

/ directory home - used for all your other files and directories
    /geneweb - used for ONLY GeneWeb items. This might differ somewhat from your Windows structure.

index.html - your homepage page. Contains a link to your "cgi-bin/geneweb.cgi" to access your GeneWeb. Below is what that file (cgi-bin/geneweb.cgi) looks like,

3. CGI info. Our directory structure is a bit different than below but it'll give a general idea.

#!/bin/sh
DIR=/var/www/html/geneweb/gw/gw
cd $DIR
./gwd -bd ../../bases -cgi


line 1 #!/bin/sh (execute shell and run)
line 2 DIR= (directory where your "gwd" file is located.)
line 3 cd $DIR (changes operating directory to the location listed above.)
line 4 ./gwd -bd ../../bases -cgi     (execute the gwd file in the local directory, use base(s) directory
located two directories above this and do it in cgi mode)

That's it really. Go forth and cgi!
