how can i change .cgi extension to .foo in apache

[shantec]

i would like to change the cgi extension on perl my scripts.

i have done it before in php from the apache config file, from .php to .acp


i want the server to execute a script with a .ads extension as .cgi.

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi it works

i have changed it and written
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .ads
it doesn't work, gives internal server error

apache doesn't interpret the .ads extension as cgi

any feedback would be well appreciated


how can i do it in perl?

thank you.

Hi mate,

The code you posted will work, did you make sure you restarted Apache before trying it?

Hope this helps Wullie

Wullie ,

thank you for your reply,

yes i have restarted, actually apache understands .ads is a .cgi script, bu t it gives internal server error.

when i try sample.cgi it works
when i try sample.ads it gives the int.server error.
bu t understands it a cgi.

what you think iam skipping_
thanks

thank for your reply

in the error log- i get

No such file or directory: exec of
/hello.ads failed
Premature end of script headers:

http://www/www/mydir/hello.ads

in this directory hello.cgi works fine though
