About cgi-bin and httpd

[sarm]

Hello,
I have one domainone currently using cgi-scripts fine.
I would like mynewdomain to have it's own cgi-bin. As shown below I have ScriptAlias defined globally in the httpd file.
I also have the directory listing. My question is in order for each newdomain to have its own cgi-bin do I comment out the global ScriptAlias and define each cgi-bin within the vhost container? By doing so is the <directory> container needed for each domain using a cgi-bin? Should the directory container be within the vhost section? This seems redundant if the path is defined in the ServerAlias line.
Thanks


ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domainone/cgi-bin/

<Directory &quot;/home/domainone/cgi-bin&quot;>
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

# Named Virtual hosts
# Vhost domainone.com
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/domainone/www/
ServerAdmin me@domainone.com
ServerName

http://www.domainone.com

ServerAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domainone/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

# Vhost mynewdomain.com
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/mynewdomain/www/
ServerAdmin me@mynewdomain.com
ServerName

http://www.mynewdomain.com

</VirtualHost>

Hi,

In short - yes. You would define a <Directory>block within each virtual host container (similar to your global cgi-bin) and have a ScriptAlias directive in the vhost block itself. Something like this :

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/mynewdomain/www/
ServerAdmin me@mynewdomain.com
ServerName

http://www.mynewdomain.com

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/newdomain/cgi-bin/
<Directory &quot;/home/newdomain/cgi-bin&quot;>
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>  
</VirtualHost>

Regards
