Yes there is ways such as adding scriptalias /cgi-bin /usr/local/cgi-bin/ etc To get the /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin as in the firstline of your email. Look for a product called cgiwrap in www.freebsd.org/ports/ Looking forward to your feedback. dannyh dannyH@idx.com.au On Wed, 27 Sep 2000, gummibear@nettaxi.com wrote: > Hey all! > > I'm runing FreeBSD 4.1R and have installed apache 1.3.12 and mod_php 3.0.16 from the packages.

One is to have a cgi-bin which the server understands to exucute files within tht directory and there is also a way for the server to execute cgi files in any directory (ie *.cgi extention files). I have figured out that I can add ExecCGI to the main <Directory /> options (along with uncommenting the #AddHandler *cgi directive or whatever it's called - which seems to work), but I question the security issues invoved. > > I'm looking to set it up where CGI files are only executable from the users ~/public_html/cgi-bin directory. I have searched far and wide to find the answer to this. I believe that it has to do with the ScripAlias directive but it just doesn't seem tow work for me. It might also have to do with .htaccess files, but I'm not clear on that subject. > > Any help setting up the configuration would be appreciated. > > TIA > > Joey > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Nettaxi MP3 Player, Burner, Ripper - NEW Version 2.0!!!
