CGIPath

Defines the URL path to the Melody application directory.

The CGIPath configuration directive is a required setting. It is used in the construction of links to any of the various scripts which handle the system's public interfaces (e.g. comments, TrackBacks, search, etc).

This value can be output through your templates using the MTCGIPath template tag. This tag is often used in blog/website templates to refer to scripts necessary for commenting, searching, RSD file, and more. The Melody application also uses this value to reference files and URLs.

Warning: For added security, we recommend the use of the AdminCGIPath configuration directive to defining a separate domain or SSL protocol to access Melody's administrative scripts (such as index.cgi)

Value

Value can be a absolute url:

CGIPath http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mt/

Or a url relative to to the site root:

CGIPath /cgi-bin/mt/

There is not default; this is a required configuration directive.

Example

If you normally access Melody with the following URL:

http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mt/index.cgi

Then you would put this in your config.cgi

CGIPath http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/mt/
