Since this has now come up twice I thought I would at least remark on it. Using ExecCGI is a hack that should not be taken lightly. If you don't know what it does precisely then you probably don't need it, and certainly shouldn't be using it. Better to use a ScriptAlias directory when setting up a cgi-bin, for more information: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html#configuringapachetopermitcgi http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/cgi.html Certainly ExecCGI has its purposes, but don't think it applies here. > I recommend you also join the Apache mailing list, that's where I had help > with this problem.
