how to setup virtuell webserver with own cgi-bin directory ?

['chris']

hi

I have a webserver with SuSE 8.2 and Apache 1.3.27 .
There are many virtuell webserver.

But every virtuell webserver should have own cgi-bin directory.
How can I do that ?

Happy New Year !

Happy new year Chris, are you using apache?

oops, duh. read the question paul...
You can use the virtual host directives in the httpd.conf to set up multiple servers with separate document roots, cgi-bins, etc. 1.3.27 is a bit old though, and the configs have changed since then, you will want to refer to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#virtualhost

Hi pcross

You're right !
Apache 1.3.27 is quite old.
So I've deinstalled it and installed
Apache 2-2.0.44

But how can I create own cgi-bin directories
by Apache 2.0 ?

kind regards
chris

the directives are the same Chris.

Here are some examples.

Scriptalias /cgi-bin/ "/home/itool/cgi-bin/"

# slashes are important ....

Virtual networking example.


Serveradmin someone@isnamerica.com
Documentroot /home/webusers/isn/htdocs
Servername monitor.isnamerica.com:80
Scriptalias /cgi-bin/ "/home/isn/cgi-bin/"


The only directive difference that I'm aware of between apache 1.3 and apache 2.x is the :80 on the server name.

I've left out the items in my configuration that are irralavent in my mind.

Hope I helped.
