Hi.
How can i make perl script which is not in cgi-bin directory work?
I am going to user cross-reference which is some cgi program( it's not
important).
This program need that cgi sript(that is perl) should be in subdirectory of
html.
How can i make it out?
I did in httpd.conf
<Directory /htmlbase>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
and
in the directory , i made .htaccess file with proper syntax( this is
recommed in program install file).
but it doesn't work.
Only difference is that I got message "Forbidden permission" in browser.
When i didn't make .htaccess file, browser just show content of perl file
instead of working.
Could you help me?
The program can be downloaded on http://lxr.linux.no( the name is
cross-reference).

If it is not enabled for the whole server, you have to
manualy set it on a per directory base via:

<Directory /htmlbase>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>

Also make sure that the path to perl is correct and that
proper permissions are set ...

You probably need the ScriptAlias directive, either for your main site
in httpd.conf, or in a VirtualHost directive. For more info, see
http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias

Add an "Options ExecCGI" to the directory entry. Then go RTFM. I admit
somt of the directives you need in Apache to make certaint things
happen can be confusing, but that's no excuse not to at least try to
figure them out. Take an afternoon to read the descriptions of all the
available directives. It will at least give you a vague idea where to
look when the next problem pops up.

You need to use ScriptAlias directive.

e.g.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /htmlbase

That is not 100% correct. He _may_ use it that way but he does
not need to ... a simple 'Options ExecCGI'on that directory
is enough ...
