Mac OS X uses the Apache Web server. Its configuration file is in / etc/httpd/httpd.conf. According to that configuration file, CGI executables can live in the following two locations: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/" The second is the system-wide directory for CGIs. This is for CGIs that everyone on the system can use. The first says that if you put a cgi-bin directory into your Sites directory, then the CGIs will also work from there. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 24 at Pitt Academy, 6010 Preston Highway. | The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>. | List posting address: <mailto:macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> | List Web page: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup>
