Re: [cobalt-users] CGI trouble RaQ4

[pravit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

check if the ffg line exists in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. each
virtual site must have a paragraph similar to this. replace the
"[site-directory]" and "[cgi-directory]" with the appropiate directory
paths.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/sites/[site-directory]/[cgi-directory]/
    <Directory "/home/sites/[site-directory]/[cgi-directory]/">
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

also.....if the "cgi-script" part does not work try replacing it with
"cgi-wrapper".
it worked for me! this obviously expects the cgi scripts to be set to
executable ( done using "chmod 755 *.cgi").
hope it helps. :-).
