Hi,

Noobie and struggling. Using 7.1.7. for testing and development. I have copied an existing site to US and added it as a virtual host. Everything works perfectly apart from the 60 or so scripts.

 

Is there any way I can have a script run from the sites own directories and folders (cgi-bin etc.) or must they go into the US made cgi-bin outside of the site strucuture. This is important as we have a number of purchased script based functions that are installed into their own folders and sub folders.

 

I have tried the additions to httpd.conf with no success in getting scripts below the "root" level of the site to work. I cannot get them to run at say www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/thisfolder.

 

 

Sorry if I have missed something basic (not for the first time) and thanks in advance.

You'll probably find this information useful:

http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/PH...I:_Introduction. Note that while it talks about 5-Nano, almost all of this applies to 7-Orion series as well.

 

Also, if you look at httpd.conf around lines 562-612, you'll see the alias and script directory redirects. I believe you need to add BOTH a ScriptAlias and an Alias directive pointing to the external directory, but it MUST be on the same machine. The path should be like "D:/Otherserver/htdocs/cgi-bin/scripts".

Caveat: I've never tried this, but that's the way I see it working.

 

Try it and post back your results.

 

Regards,
