Web Site Directory Structure

When a Web site is created, the following directory structure will be created on the system:

/home/httpd/<sitename>-<port>

Inside of this directory, the following sub-directories will exist:

• [cgi-bin]This is the directory where /cgi-bin/ is aliased to.
• [html]This is the document docs@guardiandigital.com.
• [logs]This is where the access, error, and SSL logs are kept.

If a secure site was created, the following will also be created:

• [ssl]This is where the SSL certificate and key are kept.
• [cgi-bin]The CGI files for you Web site should be located here. For example, if register.cgi was placed, then you would access it by using the following URL:

http://www.engardelinux.com/cgi-bin/register.cgi

Using the lockbox.guardiandigital.com example being used in this section the directory URLs would look as follows:

For a standard, non-secure Web server:

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-80/cgi-bin

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-80/html

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-80/logs

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-80/ssl

For a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Web server:

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-443/cgi-bin

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-443/html

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-443/logs

• /home/httpd/engarde.guardiandigital.com-443/ssl

In an HTML form, you would use something of the sort:

<FORM ACTION=''/cgi-bin/register.cgi'' METHOD=''GET''>
