I'll be the first to admit that I'm by no-means and expert on apache nor
OpenCA,
but for the most part I get the 'jist' of what's going on; learning more
each day.
(Thanks again for all your efforts, it is appreciated)

I've used a number of flags to get the file structure I'd like to use.
Here's my structure:
/home/httpd
..cgi-bin ( port 80 public non-OpenCA "/cgi-bin/")
..cgi-pub (port 443 OpenCA pub "/cgi-bin/")
..cgi-ra (port 443 OpenCA private "/cgi-bin/")
..OpenCA (port 443 OpenCA private html pages)
..OpenCA-pub (port 443 OpenCA pub html pages)
..Public (port 80 public non-OpenCA html pages)

Here's the pertinent flags:
--with-web-host=security.teleformix.com
--with-ra-htdocs-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/OpenCA
--with-ra-cgi-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/cgi-ra
--with-pub-htdocs-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/OpenCA-pub
--with-pub-cgi-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/cgi-pub
--with-online-htdocs-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/OpenCA
--with-online-cgi-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/cgi-ra
--with-ldap-htdocs-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/OpenCA
--with-ldap-cgi-fs-prefix=/home/httpd/cgi-ra

I've made my 443 docroot appropriately as I want people to hit the secure
server without having to reference /pub/.
I provided symbolic links where necessary to make the site complete.

BUT - Here's my question/comment.  It DID NOT matter where I specified the
cgi's to be placed.
There WAS NOT an "ra", "online", or "pub" cgi script file(s) anywhere to be
found.
There was however an "ldap", "RAServer", "Admin" & "pki" scripts place in
the apropriate dir's.

I thumbed through the Makefiles in src/cgi-bin and did not find any
reference to ra, online, or pub, but instead found reference to RAServer,
Admin & pki.  By copying these cgi's to ra, online & pub (respectively) it
now appears to operate properly.  Because when the code/html calls for the
"ra" cgi script it now gets it (RAServer).

Like I said, so far it appears to be working  (certs requested, approved,
etc.) so it's not really an issue with me, just letting you'z guy'z know
what I encounter. (meager contribution)

New Question - Is the Main difference with RC1 & RC2 the update for using a
SQL database that I saw mentioned on the list?  Can I continue to test with
RC1 if I'm not currently using sql as my db?

Thanks again,
Ron
