[REBOL] Re: APACHE + REBOL as CGI?
From: tim:johnsons-web at: 15-Sep-2001 17:58
Hi John:
I've noticed your questions and have time to just touch
briefly on it with what I know.
I personally don't know why one would have to be concerned about
the location of the binary. Doesn't sound to me like your doing
anything incorrect as far as Linux goes.....
I do not think it's a good idea to have the rebol binary in cgi-bin,
and it's really a good idea to have your own internal mapping so that
your not really using the standard cgi-bin. I'm referring to using
the ScriptAlias, which is in either access.conf or httpd.conf on
RH 7.0 (I think - just use RH 6.0 myself).
I'm sorry that I can't offer more than that, perhaps there will
be more on this after the weekend. HINT: Sometimes it helps
to repost under a different subject if you don't get the full
edification that you are looking for.
TIA
Tim
