Executing cgi scrips

[Guest_imported]

How to make cgi scripts to execute anywhere in the server..
ie) apart from cgi-bin directory .i know there is a syntax we need to add in the httpd.conf i don't know what is it...
Thanks in advance for the help.

create an AddHandler directive such as the following:

AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi


Look thru your config file and there should already be an example that you need to uncomment and, perhaps, modify to the file extension you wish to use.

If you place an executable script in another directory you also have to add ExecCGI to the Options of that Directory container.
