CGI Script in Geeklog
Pete
Anonymous
I have a CGI script in CGI_Bin that I only want logged in users to access. I tried putting the code into a static page but I don't think it works that way.
Excuse my stupidness, I'm new to this.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

It doesn't work that way because static pages support only PHP and not CGI.
Luckily for you, PHP can call CGI scripts via the command "Virtual".
So you need to do the following:
1) Enable PHP in Static Pages.
2) In your static page, use a line like: virtual('/var/www/cgi-bin/your_script.cgi').
And you specifically - because you asked for it too (people who find this topic in the future may not need it):
3) Uncheck anonymous' "Read" access to that static page.
