On Apache 2.0, .cgi files would not run in public_html, so I struggled with it for an entire day.
In the end, I compiled cgiwrapper with options, and got it working. It is not the essential solution, but it will do.
The options look like this:
./configure –with-cgi-dir=public_html –with-httpd-user=apache –with-install-dir=/var/www/cgi-bin
Apparently, unless at least these 3 options are specified, it does not work at all.
With –with-cgi-dir=public_html, .cgi files directly beneath it are also managed.
The steps are as follows:
develop% ./configure –with-cgi-dir=public_html –with-httpd-user=apache –with-install-dir=/var/www/cgi-bin
develop% make
root# make install
