Annie,
You do not specify what version of Apache you are using.
My understanding is that there is a content server somewhere that also hosts cgi-scripts, and you have put a reverse proxy in front of that server. You do NOT want CGI scripts to be executed on the reverse proxy.
Have you tested against the configuration you outline below and actually found that paths prefixed with /cgi-bin are actually interpreted as CGI-scripts by the reverse proxy?
Tests I made with Apache 2.0.54 show that it works just fine. The CGI script is NOT executed on the reverse proxy. A quick look at the code of mod_proxy and mod_cgi seems to confirm this since the mod_proxy handler registers all its hooks before mod_cgi (except post_config).
I suggest you test your configuration below. If you actually do observe that the CGI scripts are executed on the reverse proxy, please report back and we'll look into it again.
Cordialement,

Subject: [users@httpd] How to execute cgi on a proxied host ?
Hi everybody,
One of our scientist has develop a website with cgi-script, on host with a private adress.
He needs to be readable throught the internet next month.
Is it possible, throught a virtualHost and proxying to execute the cgi scripts hosted on his machine ?
On our apache server we have written in the vhost.conf :
(assuming for the example that our apache serveur ip adress is
123.12.12.12 our distant host private ip adress 10.10.10.10 and the name it becomes to bee seen through the internet
distant.machine.univ-reunion.fr) :
<VirtualHost 123.12.12.12:80>
Servername distant.machine.univ-reunion.fr
ProxyPass / http://10.10.10.10
ProxypassReverse / http://10.10.10.10
</VirtualHost>
How do i tell apache that cgi scripts i want to execute are not those on the apache server but those on the 10.10.10.10 ? Is it just possible ?
regards, annie
