Thanks for the explanation but I still can't get it right :( (also read the
manual again).

If this is of importance: I'm using Windows XP in combination with Apache
1.3.33

I request like this:
http://localhost/test/cgi-bin/omega.exe

omega.exe is the cgi executable that I want to call and it is in this dir:
C:\Apache\htdocs\test\cgi-bin
I've got the alias set:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/apache/htdocs/test/cgi-bin/"

Now I request
http://localhost/test/cgi-bin/omega.exe
but I still get the code of the executable viewed :(

When I read the manual I get the impression that I need to put omega.exe in
this dir:
C:\Apache\cgi-bin
And then use this alias:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/apache/cgi-bin/"

This is most correct. cgi-bin really shouldn't be
some subdirectory of htdocs.


And then call:
http://localhost/test/cgi-bin/omega.exe


Call it with:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/omega.exe




but when I do this I get a message that the requested page can't be found.
So what is the solution for this, can someone help me out??

I hope I don't annoy you guys with these basis questions but I'm awfully
confused and just can't make it work.

Thanks,

Floris

.. 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.

How do you request it? If you access it as a file, you're just using your
browser as a directory-browser and so bypassing apache. To get apache to
fetch the file you need to use HTTP so you should request:
http://your-server/cgi-bin/program-name


 When
I configure cgi execution for a certain directory this has
nothing to do
with my scriptalias or does it?

Oh yes it does! The ScriptAlias tells apache that the directory contains
executables and so it will *only* execute files found there and *never*
display them.

So you absolutely need:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ C:/apache/htdocs/test/cgi-bin/

If you just have one program in a directory which also has static content,
you can define it as executable using the ExecCGI/AddHandler method but
that's not what you've got, I think.

Read over the tutorial again to get the difference:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html
