as best i understand
your user pages have nothing to do with your virtual hosts
you can configure them separately
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/username/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
...
</VirtualHost>
the only flaw with this, (and correct me if i'm wrong) but doesn't
/home/username/ have to have permission bits of 755?
the way i've found around this is to set up symlinks in the user directories
to 'neutral' areas on the filesystem:
<VirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx>
ServerName www.mydomain.com
ServerAlias mydomain.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/username/"
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs/username
...
</VirtualHost>
$ cd /home/username
$ ln -s /usr/local/apache/htdocs/username htdocs
$ ln -s /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/username/ cgi-bin
this will maintain the permissions on the user's home directory and keeps
all your cgi scripts under one directory. (makes for easy backups)

Ah..I forgot to mention the key part. I can get/access the cgi-bin through a
~user folder.. the problem occurs with virtual hosts. Example: A user has
their /home/user/public_html folder attached to a virtual host..and when I
go to list their cgi-bin, it says access denied. However, if I do
site.com/~user/cgi-bin, it lets me access it. Oddly enough, its technically
the same exact folder. Is there a different rule with virtual hosts? Talk to
you soon, thanks in advance :)

First, make sure the "public_html" directory has open enough permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 2 username usergroup 4096 Apr 19 16:27 public_html
Next, make sure the public_html directory is defined in Apache to allow
the execution of CGI scripts:
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
order allow,deny
allow from all
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* SuppressDescription
</Directory>
Lastly, you may want to set up aliases for each user:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/username "/home/username/public_html/"
Hope this helps!

Alright here goes..
I'm trying to set it up so each user can have a working cgi-bin folder
in their public_html folder. I added the AddHandler thing to allow .cgi as
cgi-script or whatever it was, but every time I try and run a script, it
says it doesn't exist, and then it says the cgi-bin folder doesn't have
permission to be viewed, but it does! However, users can run cgi scripts
OUTSIDE of the cgi-bin folder. So what's up with that? I've been messing
around for a weekend now, and nothing I've read seems to have helped. Thanks
in advance for the response, talk to you soon,
Chet
