Hi

I am trying to upload to cgi...I am new to scripting so bear with me

I am hosted by Hostlogical, first problem was that there was no cgi-bin directory in my public_html folder. I have checked my settings and I am definitely cgi enabled.

I have added cgi-bin directory to my public_html (path specified in site-helper and set CHMOD to 755.

Uploaded all the Yabb forum files, checked all the CHMOD there is no problem there but when I type the url to access the forum I get a 404 error message.

Somebody please help me!!

A 404 would mean that the path you're using is either wrong, or the files are in the wrong spot. It's also possible that the domain is resolving to another server.

files go in: /home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/cgi-bin/Yabb/*
url: domain.com/cgi-bin/Yabb/*

Also, this page might help a little for other issues:
