Why? You can run PHP scripts in the same directory as your htdocs as
you want.
For some reason
I am getting "500 internal server error" when I try to run a script
(called phpauth.php) in that directory. If I try to run the same
script in the document root, it works fine but I don't want to do
that.
Here are the relevant lines of the error log:
[Sat May 23 22:19:02 2009] [error] [client {mylaptop.ip.address}]
(8)Exec format error: exec of '/var/www/cgi-bin/phpauth.php' failed,
referer: http://{myserver.ip.address}
[Sat May 23 22:19:02 2009] [error] [client {mylaptop.ip.address}]
Premature end of script headers: phpauth.php, referer:
http://{myserver.ip.address}
Exec format error means your #! line is incorrect. Since you're using
PHP, you're probably not using CGI (which requires the #! line)
# ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
Here's the issue. It should be "Alias" not "ScriptAlias". If you
intend on also running CGI scripts from this directory, add
"AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" to the <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin> block.
Make sure to enable PHP for that directory as well: AddHandler
application/x-httpd-php .php
