UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Stopping CGI scripts

Odd question: is there some way I can stop CGI scripts from running in a particular directory on a Windows NT 4 web server? The web host cannot or will not remove execute permissions from the directory and files.

possible set the permissions to not allow execution rights?

Unfortunately, NT isn't as 'easy' as Unix when it comes to permissions.

Basically, if the sysadmin has allowed executable scripts in a directory, anything ending in .cgi / .pl executes.

NT doesn't have a CHMOD command.

The only way I can think of is to change the file extension.

yea, if you change the extension to something that cant execute, that may work. Or you can just delete the files.
Seriously though, blank index file maybe?

Whoops...not thinking straight

.htaccess work on NT?? That might be a solution...I don't think it does though...

No, .htaccess is unix/apache only.

!? If you have IIS access its simple - the directory permissions can be set to none, scripts or Execute (which includes scripts)...
