The files contained in the directory you name as target to the ScriptAlias directive are assumed to contain executable programs, and must have the Execute permission bit set for the user ID under which the server is running. This probably explains the error you are seeing. However, .php files are not executable programs; they are interpreted directly by the appropriate modules inside Apache. This being so, you can put them anywhere on the site, and they don't need Execute permission. I just put my .php files wherever they are appropriate. I reserve the script directory for true CGI programs, such as Perl scripts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drew Tomlinson" <drew@mykitchentable.net> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 20:06 Subject: Apache File Permissions (Was Re: Apache Upgrade With Mod_PHP) > First, thank you to Mark Tinka, John Straiton, Kevin Golding, and > Shirley Palma for your help in setting up Apache to serve php pages. > > I'm attempting to setup SquirrelMail and thought I would be a good idea > to have all the php scripts (is this the right term?) in their own > directory like how the default install of Apache from the ports creates > /usr/local/www/cgi-bin for those scripts.
