[users@httpd] Problem with cgi's executing

Greetings,
I'm trying to get a wwwinstall.cgi to execute in a directory outside of the
cgi-bin.  

I have the zip file unzipped under /usr/local/apache/htdocs and I have the
permissions correct and I included <Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/>
Options +ExecCGI </Directory> in the httpd.conf file.  However when I go to
the file in a web browser it still prompts me to execute it.  What else
should I look at?

Thanks,
Bobbie

Sound's like you are missing at least an "AddHandler cgi-script cgi"
directive.  See:
