Re: CGI script executing and Apache help (2nd try important)
How about pasting that httpd.conf? Cheers! On Sun, 6 Mar 2005 17:19:02 -0500 (EST), Shawn B [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am running FreeBSD-4.8 with Apache 1.3 installed.

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. Thanks, Shawn B.

This time for 'cgi-bin'. You will notice there is a section similar to the htdocs bit that defines cgi-bin. If you are going to run a web server it might be prudent to go through the apache configuration and documentation site to try and understand what the configuration file has set up for you.

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 +ExecCGI 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.
