Look at the ScriptAlias directive. You can also enable CGI on a per
directory basis using a <Directory></Directory> block.
For example:
<Directory /home/*public_html/cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
<Directory>
This enable CGI scripts in user home directories. You need an
appropriate AddHandler directive elsewhere in httpd.conf. However,
enabling mortal users to run CGI scripts poses a significant security
risk.
