need help with leethosting

[asianzboi2k]

ok, I ordered the standard windows plan from them and I was wondering what the perl path on their server was. I need to install a few CGI scripts.

that's something you'd ask their support staff? :confused:

Why don't you email their support?

I did email them but they never replied back, so what do you want me to do?

I believe their is a command in perl to show modules installed and the path to perl, etc.

asianzboi2k is looking for the path to perl, not the full path if that's what your implying.

yes, I am looking for the path to perl, if I have that I can get the rest of the info through cgi scripts.

Is there Cpanel? I know in Cpanel you can get the path to perl.

Try using:

#/usr/bin/perl

If you have shell access you can also try a command such as: whereis perl

I would email them again if you are still having problems. If they don't reply now imagine how troubling it would be if they don't reply when your site goes offline for no apparent reason. You should always choose a host where you receive acceptable response times. Acceptable being the keyword as only you can define what is and isn't acceptable for your site.

Well, I can't help you here. But next time, don't go with a company thats named leethosting, to me thats just spelling disaster.

I wonder why anyone would name their company that.

Last I heard, Windows servers don't use paths. If CGI-Perl is installed on the server, it runs from anywhere, but the script may require the path to be entered for reference purposes, in which case #!/usr/bin/perl would work as well as anything else.
