Hello!

I'm running apache server and
wonder how I can enable cgi-bin directory for each user.
Specifically, I want every (secure) users can have
their own cgi-bin directory under ~user/public_html/cgi-bin
and have run their own script.
Most of the scripts are in (c)sh, c and perl.

Thank you.

James.

I have not tried this myself, but perhaps ScriptAliasMatch may be used?
(See the docs at http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias)

I would try something like this:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([a-z]+)/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/$1/cgi-bin/$2

(This example assumes that ~username is /home/username)

This can be done in at least one manner, this is painful to some
though I could not get ScriptAliasMatch to function. With more users,
the economy might be different...

ScriptAlias /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/ ~username/cgi-bin
...

for each user. Apache documentation could be more clear on this
subtilty.
