I think you can if you used a ScriptAlias or something similar in your conf to map /cgi-bin to a directory of your choosing. -Tony --------------------------- Manager, IT Operations Format Dynamics, Inc. 303-573-1800x27 abiacco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.formatdynamics.com -----Original Message----- From: Sean DeNigris [mailto:sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 2:28 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Can you go outside the .htaccess directory with Rewrite Rule? If I put a .htaccess file in my webroot with the following rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi?action=$1 Can I specify a script file outside the directory with the .htaccess file in it (i.e. outside the webroot)? Example: /home/myname/public_html/.htaccess (see above) /home/myname/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi (I want to call this script via the above rule) Thank you!!
