Hi My server is .... Debian Woody 3.0r1 Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 All the scripts works fine under original directories but now I want to put the user's scripts under /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin ... At first I put .... /home/bodegonweb/public_html/cgi-bin/test-cgi the same script that works fine under /usr/lib/cgi-bin I have red the Apache Documentation but until today I couldn't get to works fine ... Apache documentation says .... There are many ways to give each user directory a cgi-bin directory such that anything requested as http://example.com/~user/cgi-bin/program will be executed as a CGI script. Two alternatives are: 1.. Place the cgi-bin directory next to the public_html directory: ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/]*)/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/$1/cgi-bin/$2 2.. Place the cgi-bin directory underneath the public_html directory: <Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin> Options ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script </Directory> If you are using suexec, the first technique will not work because CGI scripts must be stored under the public_html directory. I have used the second option under the virtualhost of the user .... # # Dominio bodegonweb.com.ar # <VirtualHost 200.68.76.51> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ServerName www.bodegonweb.com.ar DocumentRoot /home/bodegonweb/public_html <Directory /home/bodegonweb/public_html/cgi-bin> Options ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script </Directory> # ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error.log # CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access.log common </VirtualHost> ====================== Unfortunately, if you want to use suexec, you'll need to recompile it to allow /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/ otherwise it won't run. There are docs on this common issue. Google is your friend.
