| | I have a quick question for you guys,
I noticed that in CPanel, there is a cgi-bin folder under the www folder, and there is a cgi-bin folder that's created for every subdomain I have. What is this cgi-bin directory suppose to be used for ? And is it safe to just delete it ? Thanks in advance. |

the cgi-bin is a place to run scripts from. It takes up little or no space and there may be complications if you delete it, so until somebody comes along with further information, I would not delete it.

No, I can't because I code in PHP, but cgi is named as "Common Gateway Interface" and is often PERL scripting, AFAIK. CGI scripts have been replaced with ASP and php for most sites, depending on the scripting languages supported on the Server. Trap17 allows php.

omarsdali, the cgi-bin folder is for cgi scripts that you want to be use to be executed. You can get an idea of what it is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface
