Developing Web pages
You can create complex Web pages using any of the standard HTML editors and
the HTML publishing capabilities of many popular desktop productivity
applications.
You can create and link the Web pages on your desktop computer, and then move
them to the appropriate subdirectory on the RaQ XTR through a file transfer
protocol (FTP) application; see “Publishing Web pages using FTP” on page 191.
CGI scripts
The RaQ XTR supports common gateway interface (CGI) scripts, such as those
written in Perl, C or other languages. If CGI is enabled for your virtual site (see
the “Site Settings” table under the Site Management > Site Settings tab), you
can add CGI scripts to work with your Web content.
You can develop CGI scripts on your desktop machine and then transfer them to
the RaQ XTR by means of any FTP-based application that allows permission bits
to be set to executable .
Use FTP to upload .cgi and .pl files; use ASCII mode to upload CGI files. Once
the file is on the RaQ XTR, use your FTP program to make the script executable.
You can also use the telnet command:
chmod 775 <filename>.cgi
In order for users (other than the RaQ XTR Administrator) to add CGI files, CGI
must be enabled for the user’s virtual site (see the “Site Settings” table under the
Site Management > Site Settings tab). CGI scripts must use .pl or .cgi filename
extensions in order to be executed by the Web server.
