[REBOL] Re: Apache Config for CGI with REBOL
From: ryanc::iesco-dms::com at: 27-Feb-2001 10:18
As far as I know, all that mime stuff does is tell the browser how it should
view your document. It has been a long while since I have set up CGI on Apache,
but I still might be able to help.
First in srm.conf, check for either or both of these lines...
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /home/httpd/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler is for executing any file with a certain extension. ScriptAlias is
for having a directory that everything in it is assumed executable. Most people
use one or the other.
Then in your main access.conf make sure there is cgi access in the directories
that you will be using cgi. This can be done with "options ExecCGI", like so...
<directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOveride none
options ExecCGI
</directory>
Then make sure that you cgi files have executable permissions using chmod. And
last but not least, make sure that the first line of your cgi file points to
rebol.
That should be it,
