This is mac OS X 10.7. I have done previous setups for apache all on linux. And yes, > Options +ExecCGI > AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl is needed on linux. However, for some reason they _are not_ needed in this Mac install. >From httpd.conf # # AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers": # actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server # or added with the Action directive (see below) # # To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories: # (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.) # #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi #AddHandler cgi-script .py Note the following: # To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories: # (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.) I understand from the above that is only needed in this installation for directory outside of ScriptAliased directories. Nevertheless, I did add those lines to the directory container, but with no success. I appreciate the help. I suspect that perhaps (and I am a permanent apache noob because I do configs so seldom) - that there is a module whose loading was disabled that may have an effect. What I will do, is send my entire httpd.conf OTL to a known and trusted individual who is a sysadmin, and then pose the problem to a mailing list of sysadmins that both myself and he belong to. Any further help that you offer would be appreciated, but perhaps with the full httpd.conf for this individuals review and the other sysadmins eyes - who do virtual host setups all the time - I might be able to report the solution by tomorrow. Thanks again for your help. regards -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
