Hi Thom,

on our RAQ2 we have the following setup for a server-wide CGI-BIN directory (running a form-mail 
program, compiled in C):

/home/sites/home:
dr-xr-xr-x   2 nobody   home         1024 Jan 28 14:24 cgi

/home/sites/home/cgi:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 admin    home        40698 Dec 31 02:27 yourcgiscript

Add the following line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias   /cgi/    /home/sites/home/web/cgi/


BTW: It's also a good idea to add the following lines:

<Directory /home/sites/*/web/cgi>
 Options -Indexes
</Directory>

<Directory /home/sites/*/web/cgi-bin>
 Options -Indexes
</Directory>

This global CGI-directory also works for sites which have cgi-support turned off (no "Options 
ExecCGI" or cgi-wrap-addhandler).

Regards,
 Thomas
