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!
