Running CGI outside of cgi-bin possible ?

[jeroman8]

Hi, is it possible to run cgi scripts outside of the cgi-bin when suexec is active ?

Hi jeroman8,

Yes, you can execute cgi scripts outside the cgi-bin directory by adding the following directive to .htaccess file.

A .htaccess file is a way to set configuration directives on a per-directory basis. When Apache serves a resource, it looks in the directory from which it is serving a file for a file called .htaccess.

.htaccess file
==================
AllowOverride Options
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl
Options +ExecCGI [which tells Apache that execution of CGI programs is permitted in this directory]
