Re: CGI

[Dave Lewis <dave dsl-co com>]

Hmm, umm.. you have existing cgi's working on this server ??? if not
you'll have to go to the httpd.conf file and in there there will be a line
that needs to be uncomented out to accept cgi's....

    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi


and obviously the cgi's have to be excacutable.. 

umm.. those should work...

oh.. sec.. you want to have scripts runnable in other than the cgi-dir
you want them to be able to run cgi's in their docs dir... 
(as per your example..) you'd have to do either of the following..

if it is the default html dir for the server do this
(where the default dir options are set...)
(not the ExecCGI at the end, that allows you to run cgi's in this dir)

<Directory "/home/HOME/public_html">

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI

</Directory>


IF It isn't the default dir you probably have to do the same
but with the default dir settings for every other dir on the server
(Again the ExecCGI)

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Indexes
</Directory>




Lemme know how you make out....

ttyl,

Dave
