Default CGI server's name

I'm trying to install a CGI script. It asks for the following:

# Type in the CGI-servers name e.g
# http://www.yourdomain.com
# or http://www.myisp.com
$script =

The Readme says:
Type in the CGI server name, e.g. http://www.myisp.com,
http://www.mydomain.com, http://cgi.myisp.com or whatever
that makes sense on your system.

My domain doesn't seem to work, and http://www.pcplayground.com doesn't work either (unless I've also done something else wrong).

What is the "CGI server's name"?

Thanks for your help!

Default Still trying to find CGI server name

Thanks for helping. It still doesn't seem to be working. It is very possible that I have made other mistakes, though I tried to re-upload everything and I still have the same problem. I contacted someone who has successfully installed this program, and they suggested changing the cgi server name. Does anyone know what this might be?

Default Tommy's Response

I got the following email from Tommy:

I believe you are speaking of this:

/home/pcplay/public_html/YOUR_SUBDOMAIN/cgi-bin

IE:

/home/pcplay/public_html/bob/cgi-bin

would be for bob.pcplayground.com


I didn't think the absolute path was the CGI server name. I will try it!
Thank you Tommy, and to all that offered their help!
