Program Paths

The following paths are commonly needed by scripts. These are standard paths for running Perl scripts, sending emails via sendmail, and accessing CGI directories:

  • Path to Perl:
    /usr/bin/perl

  • Path to Sendmail:
    /usr/sbin/sendmail

  • CGI URL:
    http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi

  • Subdomain CGI URL:
    http://subdomain.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi

  • Path to cgi-bin:
    /home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/cgi-bin

  • Path to cgi-bin (Subdomain):
    /home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/subdomain/cgi-bin

Important Notes:

  • If these paths don't work as expected, it's possible that your host has installed your account in a different location than the default /home. In such cases, please contact your hosting provider for the correct paths.
