[aclug-L] Re: setting up Apache for CGI

[Steven Saner <ssaner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You probably need a ScriptAlias command in you httpd.conf
file. Something on the order of:

ScriptAlias /~foobar/cgi-bin/ /home/foobar/.public_html/cgi-bin/

In addition, you could be getting messed up by the suexec module if
you have the compiled in and do not have it configured correctly. Or
perhaps if you have some permission problems that suexec doesn't like.
