[users@httpd] Can cgi files without extensions be executed?
We're trying to convert a user from Netscape Fastrack to Apache and
they've got a boatload of existing cgi scripts that have no extensions.
(.pl or .cgi etc.) Is there anyway to configure Apache to let those
script run? The doc for the AddHandler option doesn't seem to mention
it.
Thanks,
Jim.

The best place for your cgi and pl scripts is a cgi-bin (ScriptAlias is
your friend in this case) if you can manage the minor remake of the
directory structure. If not, then SetHandler works too.

Thanks. It's Unix. We used SetHandler in the <Directory> section.
That worked fine, except all the .gif files had to be moved somewhere
else, but that was a satisfactory solution for them.
Jim.

[users@httpd] httpd could not be started
Posted by Dani <mc...@wanadoo.es>.
Well, finally I've installed apache 1.3.27 & mod_ssl 2.8.14. I've done
all the steps I had read in a web. I can start http, but i can't start
https.
# ./bin/apachectl startssl
#./bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started
Where is the problem?
Thanks.

Depends on what OS the server is on. If it's Unix/Linux based, no, they
don't need the extensions. If it's Windoze, yes.
