Thanks Marcel,
Let me restate what it was I was asking just to clarify my situation.
If anyone has any input, by all means annie up.
What I am trying to do is setup the server so users in /home/*/ can
execute CGI programs on their personal web pages on this particular machine. I found
a reference in the apache admin guide I have and the apache site which say to put the
following in the httpd.conf:
<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
Addhandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
I have done that, but I still cannot make the following work:
http://yourdomain.com/~username/cgi-bin/test.cgi
When this page is run, I get "premature end of headers" in the error.log
file. I thought this would be fairly simple but it is turning out to be
a headache.
Anything else I can try?
