A carefull reading of that cgi documentaion doesn't really deal with what happens once you've set a ScriptAlias to /cgi-bin/ What I'm seeing is that once tha that happens any directory under DocumentRoot has to have explicit Options ExecCGI it is not recursive. However, it is recursive at $public_html even though ScriptAlias is set to localhost/cgi-bin/... I don't quite understand why it works like that I guess. Although I can live with having to edit httpd.conf anytime I add a directory under DocumentRoot that might need ExecCGI it just appears inconsisitent. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
