yo yo How Do I Create a CGI Directory? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm attempting to use Verotel for a project and it says I need to create a CGI directory so their system can interact with mine.

How do I go about that?

Most hosts will already have a CGI-BIN directory. Depending on your host, it will either be inside your public_html folder, or above it one level.

Ah ok, I see it, yea it's a level above the public folder.

So it's titled cgi-bin , can I rename that 'members' and use it as my CGI directory with Verotel?

Thanks for the help Dynamix

I don't believe so, your best bet is to create a directory under the cgi-bin directory called members, and use THAT directory with Verotel:

/cgi-bin/members
