CGI - Common Gateway Interface
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is
a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as the Apache Web Server. An HTML document is static, which means it exists in a constant state. It is a text file that doesn't change. A CGI program, on the other
hand, is executed in real-time so that it can provide dynamic output.
Installation
Your FreeBSD Basic Hosting account features it's own private CGI-BIN:
Configuration
CGI programs that are installed in the ~/www/cgi-bin directory will automatically be
executed by the Web server when accessed from a Web browser. If you install CGI programs in the ~/www/htdocs directory, they will not be automatically executed by the Web server.
