====== Cgi Script Permissions in labtest mode ======
\\

\\
Taken from Steven Castellucci's testing and documentation of cgi scripts in labtest mode
\\
His code takes input from the users' session and creates a directory for the user
in /eecs/dept/course/2014-15/S/1030/mcTests (with owner:group being
labtest:labtest)
The cgi script is located in /eecs/dept/www/www.eecs.yorku.ca/course_archive/2014-15/S/1030/Test1

<code>

Labtest directory (in /eecs/dept/www/www.eecs.yorku.ca/course_archive/):
    .htaccess     770    labtest
    index.html    740    labtest
    labtest.cgi   770    labtest  <-writes to mc/Tests/Test1 (see below)
Submission directory (in dept/course/...):
    mcTests       770    labtest  <-710 should (in theory) suffice
    mcTests/Test1 770    labtest  <-MC answers are saved here
</code>

**Note** that the cgi script runs with the permission of the user labtest and group labtest so files are created likewise


Any apache logs are kept on the local host /tmp/{access,error}_log.
Here is where you will check for any script errors
