How can I configure apache so that html files will display if they are in the cgi-bin. I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks

Hi mate,
A better question would be:
WHY??
A server is set-up this way for a reason, html files should not be called from inside the cgi-bin.. The cgi-bin is a scriptalias directory and should only be used for scripts.
Hope this helps Wullie

The reason is that I have just bought a script for my website, and it has to have html and cgi files residing in the same directory. It won't work without.
Hi mate,
The best and easiest option is to use another directory and enable that to execute cgi scripts.
BTW. You should be able to change he paths to the html files and place them in another directory, It really is a bad idea to place non script files in your cgi-bin..
