I can indeed imagine the aspirin bill. With my approach, it is systematic, each domain has it's own cgi-bin directly under it's web dir, and the server will not permit access to anything other than the root directory for that domain, and it's cgi-bin. However, now I am writing a application for other people's web servers, it behooves me to learn of the fetishes of other people. oh- the item in question: http://www.tinylist.org/ Jerry McAllister wrote: > > > > > where should one properly place the directory for the web pages in a web > > server, > > and is there a standard name for it?
