How to make the CGI scripts work in /cgi-bin


The standard configuration redirects the cgi-bin directory on every customer home
directory to /var/www/cgi-bin. For this reason the webserver can't find the scripts
in the cgi-bin directory of your customer home directory. You can solve this
problem either by renaming the directory or by deactivating the redirection in the
Apache configuration /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf as follows:

# ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
