[cobalt-users] Apache and cgi scripts/binaries

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a go at installing TestTrack Pro on a Qube3 and I'm having a
small problem with it not executing cgi binaries.

Actually the Qube3 will run cgi scripts/binaries, but those installed with
TestTrack Pro are either in the wrong place or have the wrong extension.
Since the product is ported from Windows they have maintained .exe as the
extension on their cgi binaries.

Questions ...

1.  Is there a standard location on the Qube3 where cgi scripts and binaries
should be loaded?

2.  If these binaries are in the correct location will they execute on the
server side regardless of their extension?

3.  Can/Should I edit the Apache config file to also support .exe as a valid
extension for cgi sripts/binaries?

Cheers,  Malcolm
