No have not because I want them to fixso i can use the html/ubb/cgi-bin as cgi-bin and variables directory.

Since many sites link to the /ubb/cgi-bin forum directory and google and other search engines does too then it's pain for me to use another directory.

My last option is to change directory name from /ubb/cgi-bin to for example /ubb/bin

So would it work if I just change the url and path to /ubb/bin in the vars_config.cgi file???

thanks for your help

I read the prividers instruction about adding a .htaccess file into my /html/ubb/cgi-bin containg following data

Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymLinks
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
<Limit GET POST>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from none
Allow from all
</Limit>


I uploaded that yo the directory but it failed, i get no help from the provider so now I need to make a decission soon how to handle it.

Is there any risk with moving to a /html/ubb/bin directory from a
/html/ubb/cgi-bin directory. Sorry to be a pain but I am misserable right now.
Thanks for any help
