about CGI http.conf

[typer]

Hi All;

I have some trouble on giving particular directory to have CGI
or Include access.

Here is my httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerAlias www.domain.com domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/domain/public_html/php
BytesLog domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log
User domain
Group domain
ServerName www.domain.com
CustomLog domlogs/domain.com combined
Options -ExecCGI -Includes
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain /www/php/domain/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

The outcome to view that cgi is permission denial.
But check the error.log and it still tells me that Options CGI is off.

How can that be??

If I allow /home to have CGIExec, of coz; it will work but i think it is insecure...

Any expert help me here?

Hi Janice,

You can make CGI option on use the following directive:
Options +ExecCGI

Regarding security you can use the Directory option which is used to enclose a group of directives that will apply only to the named directory and sub-directories of that directory.

<Directory "/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

For more details on Options and Directory directives refer:
