CGI and IP Addresses...

[RonDoubt]

Do IP addresses work with CGI Scripts? I ask because I am creating my site right now on my IP address while I wait for my domain to start working, and I cant use my cgi files

 

[zazoo]

It should work because a name just masks the ip adress and makes it look fantsy

 

[Epgs]

yeah just put http://your ip as the site name.

only if you have your own IP if it's a virtual host then you can't

if you can access ur ftp, and u have a virtual domain, you can

 

[lucifer]

but you have user/password info

with just an IP how does the server know wwhich domain it's for???

 

[zazoo]

It doesn't.....

but why would it need to know?

 

[lucifer]

so you need a dedicated ip address
