when i do
ScriptAlias /cult/ib/cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin"
will my cgi scripts that are in /var/www/cgi-bin fail to work properly if the have relative links that are relative to /var/www/html/cult/ib/cgi-bin (which is where they use to reside)??
I am plannin to upgrade my server and wanna use a cgi-bin at /var/www/cgi-bin instead of having the scripts executable anywhere.
-
another q:
should my cgi-bin directory container look like this:
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
or like this:
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Yes, that should work. Instead of www.someserver.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi (http://www.someserver.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi) you would have www.someserver.com/cult/ib/cgi-bin/script.cgi. (http://www.someserver.com/cult/ib/cgi-bin/script.cgi.)
If you want both you'll need to add an "Alias".

Like this (the default):
Just make sure you don't have "ExecCGI" in your other directory definitions and it will only execute CGI from your cgi-bin.

thats not the default in my apache. my default is:
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
should i change the "none" to "ExecCGI"?

Hmm, interesting. It appears that you only need ExecCGI if the directory in question is not a "ScriptAlias" directory. All files (regardless of thier extension) are treated as executable if they are in a ScriptAlias directory. It's interesting that my Apache 2.x server (and all of my other servers) have the ExecCGI set even though they are also are defined via ScriptAlias, I think that's a RedHat default because I don't remember setting any of them that way. Here a FAQ:
