(This is equivalent to the "public_html" folder on many other servers.)
Your Website's CGI scripts (if any) go into the cgi-bin folder.
In other words, the CGI-BIN folder is outsite the main folder.
PLEASE NOTE: You can execute CGI scripts in any directory, not just the cgi-bin directory !

and ISPs are a little slower.
Why
isn't my SSI working?
In
order for SSI to be executed, you must rename
all of your web pages to .shtml rather than
.htm or .html. This solves the majority of SSI
errors.
