Hi there,

I have what i think is a really simple question regarding cgi scripts.
I have an apache chpasswd cgi script that i want to make available so
that users can browse to the url and change their own passwords.

If a cgi script is in my /usr/local/www/cgi-bin directory, what url
would i use to access the cgi from the web. Would i need to copy the
cgi into my data directory? - i tried this and the browser treated it
as a download.

Please advise.

Thanks!
