I realize this is a ScriptAlias fix, but I don't know what file to change.
Will this
ScriptAlias fix be for the virtual, or for the whole server? Will the
AddHandlers
need to be removed? What is the correct file path? Assuming the cgi-bin
is placed in the web directory, would it be /web/cgi-bin/ ?
I realize this is kind of a dumb question, but I can't have the cgi scripts
on all the other
sites go down if I have the wrong path.

Sorry for all the questions,
so much to learn, so little time...
