To get php as a directory index you need to open up /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
and find the line that says directory index. Do a search for index.html and
itıll take you to the proper line. Add index.php (or whatever you want to
call it) to that line and exit the editor. Type apachectl restartı and
there you go.
You should automatically have your CGI-Executables directory set up to be
your cgi-bin. That is, you donıt need to do anything other than direct your
browser to http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/nameofcgi.cgi to get it to work. You
need to make sure that your permissions are correct (chmod 755
nameofcgi.cgi) to get them to be accessible. Hope that helps.
