    Question Home Directory

    I'm trying to add a cgi file but it needs to be configured first.

    I've configured it, but it says that my home directory that I wrote in it is wrong.

    What is the correct home directory address that will work?

    Well, my root is: /home/<account>/public_html

    I guess it should be the same for you...

    Here's a snippet from a test result...

    Code:
    The absolute path to this script is:

    DOCUMENT_ROOT: /home/<account>/public_html.
    CGI Version: 3.07
    
    Has DB_File Perl module installed?	Yes

    Alias of /home/<account>/www/ is cool too... it points to the exact same place as /home/<account>/public_html/ on JAG servers.

    So what do I do with <account>?

    Do I change it to the one I use to login, or to the domain, or another?

    Your account name is part of the path.

    Let's say your domain is pineapple.com, and your account name is pineaco.

    The root would be: /home/pineaco/public_html

    So, yes trtam, the login name that you use for cpanel and ftp is what replaces <account>
