I am somewhat new to the world of servers. I recently installed my own server and need to know what the paths are in order to install my cgi scripts. Please help. If anyone has any idea on how to find out the paths to my server, please respond as soon as possible.

Thank you.

assuming this is a *nix server to which you have shell access (because anything else is just silly), log in and type "which perl" and that returns the path to perl. if there's more than one path returned, just choose the first one. same with "which sendmail" for the path to sendmail, etc, etc. if nothing shows up, try "whereis"...

if you need the path to your home directory or web directory, when you're in said directory type "pwd"...
