Subject: CGI script executing and Apache help (2nd try & important)
In order to get CGI scripts to run in a directory other than the default cgi-bin directory, you have to define the directory and include the option +ExecCGII am running FreeBSD-4.8 with Apache 1.3 installed. I changed the htdocs directory in httpd.conf to /home/user1/public_html/ and I added a /cgi-bin/ in the same user directory. Scripts will not execute from the cgi-bin, as the scripts contents are displayed in the browser window. I went through httpd.conf using the search feature in Easy Editor, editing sections that have .cgi in it. Now, I am stumped as to how to get the CGI scripts to execute.
So, in your case, it would be something like this: <Directory "/home/user1/public_html"> Options +ExecCGI </Directory>
But, as others have said, you really should read the Apache docs and familiarize yourself with the syntax. Also consider using mod_security to protect your server from attack.
