not everything. the documentroot may be /var/www but if you look
for 'cgi-bin' you'll find stuff like
Alias /cgi-bin /usr/lib/cgi-bin
<Location /cgi-bin>
SetHandler cgi-script
</Location>
# CGI Stuff rat chear
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
order allow,deny
allow from all
Options -Indexes +ExecCGI
</Directory>
which translates any request for /cgi-bin/xyzpdq.ext into a file
lookup for /usr/lib/cgi-bin/xyzpdq.ext ...
note that you need
options +execCGI
turned on for items you want apache to execute, and filesystem
permissions must also be set for executability as well (lest you
wind up with "file permissions deny access").

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #33 from Brian Potkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Looking for some good DPKG AND APT TIPS?
You'll find a very good introduction at
http://www.spack.org/geek/apt-help.html
It is, of course, based on the man pages for apt-get and
dpkg so you will want to read them as well.
