I usually just create a directory for them under Apache's cgi-bin. then
make a link to their home dir. Assuming you have a subdirectory called
"users" under Apache's cgi-bin, you can create a cgi-bin directory for a
user in a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Create a CGI directory for the user specified on the command
# line: addcgidir username
#
# Make sure a username was specified.
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Syntax is $0 USERNAME"
exit
fi
# Create a subdirectory for the user under the system CGI directory.
mkdir /var/www/cgi-bin/users/$1
# Set the ownership and permissions on the new CGI dir so that the
# user can create and delete files.
chown root.$1 /var/www/cgi-bin/users/$1
chmod 775 /var/www/cgi-bin/users/$1
# Add a link to the CGI dir in the users public_html dir.
ln -s /var/www/cgi-bin/users/$1 /home/$1/public_html/cgi-bin
The advantage is that you don't have to edit Apache config files and
restart the server every time you add a user.
