Installed too deep?

Installed too deep?
Newbie here.

My cgi-bin is at the same level as my wwwdocs (where the html files are stored).

When I start fileman, my root is the cgi-bin directory, rather than the wwwdocs directory.

Is this easy to fix?

Whoops I just checked another note. Is this require a CGIwrap solution?

You just need to change the 'root_dir' => '/path/to/cgi-bin' var in the ConfigData.pm file. Change it to your home directory or the directory just above your cgi-bin.

Yes, it's possible that you will need a CGI wrapper. Some people run into permissions problems when editing files uploaded by a FTP client if FileMan is not run through a wrapper.

Thanks. That solution worked. No CGIWrapper was needed.
