Re: [gentoo-user] apache and cgi

[Catalin Trifu]

Hi,     The cgi-bin in /var/www/localhost will server the scripts; in the httpd.conf /cgi-bin/ is aliased to that particular directory, so everything u put in there will be available at http://localhost/cgi-bin/     There are two scripts in there by default printenv and test-cgi. Point u'r browser to http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv and u should see something. If not, then there is something wrong with u'r setup. Catalin Nick Smith wrote: how do you install a cgi script in apache when the cgi-bin folder is outside of the document root like is the default for gentoo? ive tried a symlink and that doesnt seem to work, this is my first cgi script so im not exactly sure how to install it. this is for the courier webadmin program, it has to be in cgi-bin running on the webserver. thanks Nick -- Linux, because I'd rather own a free OS than steal one that's not worth paying for.
