SV: How do I get a cgi-bin for a user

Try edit these files. It's some explanation in file(s) itself, but if you point your browser to the defailt startup page in RH, you will find some significant documents in the Apache documentation which has been included with this distribution.

A *hint* is that you need edit the srm.conf where the directive about public_html reside. You can also make new directory here...
look at this example below that I find in the book "Matering Linux" by Arman Danesh.

# Enabling cgi-bin in an user directory
<Directory /home/user/cgi-bin>  
AllOverride None
Options None
</Directory>

If this did'nt work. Try edit the access.conf and/or httpd.conf and make the proper change.
I hope this help you a step forward. I have use this and it work for me.
