I'm trying to define a pathing (Testing on FreeBSD) to a folder called "testcgi" which resides on the Root of http://www.mysite.com.
All the documentation I have says to use:
/users/home/www/testcgi

This doesn't work and to me looks a bit generic. I'm obviously missing something. :hammer:
Any feed back from our local *nix gurus would be helpfull.

TIA

Yeah that is generic. Freebsd....Never used it. Solaris, SuSE, Redhat, SCO, AIX, HPUX, no problem... Freebsd? never had the pleasure.

Yep! I've had a good amt. of experience with Solaris/AIX/HP-UX but not this grab-#ss Freebsd! :hammer: :D

Thanks guys ....... think I have it figured out.
Depending on the ISP you use ......
/server/web/userid/export
However, this pathing makes it Server Dependant. So, I opted for something a bit more generic which would allow me to test on just about any Unix Server, even locally .....
$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/export

Man, if this keeps going like this, I gotta start taking some Unix "Crash" courses ....... :cool:
