View Full Version : cgi-bin constraint

I cannot run .html files in cgi-bin, and image fies cannot be seen under /cgi-bin.

I know this may be related apache conf. files (step-by-step procedure).
I want to know how I can remove those constraints, and how insecure the server will be.
I am not an expert of apache. I can manage to change that?
If I fail, my customers will not see their sites.

Thank you. Joe

Can't you just tell your client to move the images out of the cgi-bin? Or move the whole script out of cgi-bin (assuming you have it enabled to run scripts outside of the cgi-bin)?

No, that's my question.

I asked my clienents to do so.
But, among them, severals are ammature, and want to move cgi scripts from previous servers to the current server, without changing anything because they do not have enough knowledge.

I want those scripts to run even in cgi-bin.
But, cgi-bin seem to reject html and image files.

Thank you. Joe.
