URL after cgi

how to change protect.cgi?file=datA

[sophie]

hi,

the datA folder used to be under the same folder of cgi. protect.cgi?file=datA/test.html worked well.
cgi-bin/protect.cgi
cgi-bin/datA/test.html

now datA has to be moved to another folder. the directory looks like:

cgi-bin/protect.cgi
htdocs/datA/test.html

how can i change the URL to call this page?

Hi
If I got what you are asking correct, the answer would be to work from the root of the webserver or /data/test.html
as in protect.cgi?file=/data/file.html
this is given that the /htdocs folder is the root of the web server
if its just another folder ?file=/htdocs/data/file.html

although if its a protection scheme for specific files, its pretty weak since just typing in URL/data/file.html should bypass the script
That's just a quick take of the matter though.
