Hi, I've got a question that should be simple for an advanced Apache user. I'm trying to set up a certain directory so that cgi-bin apps can be run from there. The Apache manual is quite clear on this but I can't make it work. What am I doing wrong? I use the config lines at the bottom of this message to set the directory up for cgi-bin executing. I saved and restarted the Apache server but when I request a cgi executable that's in the directory "C:/apache/htdocs/test/cgi-bin/" the webserver attempts to view the file instead of executing it. So in my browser window the code of the program is shown when I call the cgi executable!
You forgot to mention if this is an executable (e.g. a .exe or .com binary) or a script. I started to believe you were talking about an .exe until you mentioned that it shows your 'code'. What are you trying to invoke? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
