CGI Problem!

[Zeus <te...@pacific.net.sg>]

Hi, what a way to start my first post but I need help badly.

My cgi for /var/www/html/zeus/cgi-bin directs to /var/www/cgi-bin 
instead.
 
My domain is frozened.com thus if I entered www.frozened.com/cgi-
bin/newspro/newspro.cgi (/var/www/html/zeus/cgi-
bin/newspro/newspro.cgi) it directs to /var/www/cgi-bin instead.
 
I tried doing the Directives and stuffs, but I still cannot work it.
 
Could someone guide me?

Like Cliff said earlier, you HAVE to ask these questions in the apropriate
forum. new-httpd@apache.org is not the forum for end-user support.

That being said, your answer may be found in one of the end-user forums
which are listed at:

    http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=apachesupport&id=12&hub

And you may also find your answer simply by RTFM:

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" <-- this is my script alias

How can I fix it such that /var/www/html/users/cgi-bin allows cgi.

This list is for development, not support.  Please direct your question to
the Usenet group at comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix .  You can probably
also find the answer in the documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ .

To get you started, you'll probably want to look at your ScriptAlias
directive, for one thing.  You should probably consider, however, actually
using /var/www/cgi-bin, as it's often inadvisable to put cgi scripts
within your document root directory for security reasons.

Hope this helps.
