Also, is there a way I can not have it created on account creation, rather than having to manually go in and delete it?
cgi-bin dir on account creation
Why is the cgi-bin in the public_html dir if I can still run perl scripts from anywhere?
Also, is there a way I can not have it created on account creation, rather than having to manually go in and delete it?
I'm kind of wondering the same thing. Clearly I can run .cgi files (with a perl #!/usr/bin/perl first line) in any web directory with very secure permissions of just 700. It doesn't need to be in cgi-bin.
I'm running latest version of cPanel RELEASE tree.
removing cgi-bin directory
my question is, if it is possible to prevent the creation of the cgi-bin directory, it's not necessary (we are not permitting cgi anyways)
