CGI Access Outside Of CGI-BIN

Post by MrCrap »

I know that some hosts offer CGI access outside of the cgi-bin using option+execgi command or something similar. Would this be possible? there are several perl scripts that are required to run outside of the cg-bin that i would like to use. I am also hosting a development company that would like this feature.

you can always link them into your cgi-bin directory using "ln -s /cgi-bin/path /actualpath".

I dont think enabling cgi-bin in the base www directory is a good idea though.

It was just a thought. I didn't think it was that great of an idea?

I think it would cause problems. Thats why theres a seperate dir for cgi-bin, just link it in to the cgi-bin dir and it should work :).
