Linux under the Apache+cgi configuration method. (Turn)---set cgi-bin__linux

1, install Apache
First download the latest version of Apache HTTP server to Apache's home page, address http://httpd.apache.org/
This article is written in 2006.4.29,apache version for 2.2.0. If you want to use this version, please click: http://mirror.vmmatrix.net/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.0.tar.gz

Install Apache:
Switch to the httpd-2.2.0.tar.gz directory, and then:
# tar Xvzf httpd-2.2.0.tar.gz
At this point there is a folder httpd-2.2.0 in the directory, switch to the folder:
# CD./httpd-2.2.0
I don't know which folder you want to install Apache to, and we assume we want to install it under/usr/local/apache2/.
Enter the following command:
#./configure--prefix=/usr/local/apache2
# make
# make Install
After executing these 3 commands, Apache is installed in your/usr/local/apache2 directory.
Switch to the directory and see what you can do.
# CD./usr/local/apache2
# ls
You can see that there are/bin,/conf,/htdocs,/cgi-bin, and so on. Apache has not yet started, we start with the tool/bin in the Apachectl directory, first switch to the/bin directory:
# CD./bin
And then start:
#./apachectl Start
At this time, enter http://localhost/in the address bar to see if there is a successful message? (I see "it works!") The information, of course, different versions will be different, depending on the content of the index.html under your/htdocs.
Replace the/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html with your paging file.

Here, we assume that your Apache server has been installed successfully. If you have any questions, please search the Internet or contact me:

2, configure Apache to execute the CGI program
By default, the CGI program must be placed in the Cgi-bin directory, we first configure the CGI program under Cgi-bin to be properly executed,
The following will show you how to get Apache to execute a CGI program that is placed in a different directory.

1, on, we have to install Apache into the/usr/local/apache2 directory, switch to the/usr/local/apache2/conf directory, which has a httpd.conf file, edit this file:
# cd/usr/local/apache2/conf
# VI httpd.conf (assuming your text editor is VI, if you use another editor such as Emacs, Gedit, Kedit, and so on, replace VI with their command)
Find one line like this:
# scriptalias/cgi-bin/"/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
Remove the ' # ' in front of this line and restart Apache:
# CD./bin (or Cd/usr/local/apache2/bin)
#./apachectl Restart
OK, if you put a CGI program ' test.cgi ' to Cgi-bin, in the address bar
Enter http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi to see if it can be executed.
If not, please email me:

2, if you want to change the execution of the CGI directory (without the default Cgi-bin directory), then the change just
scriptalias/cgi-bin/"/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/" is:
scriptalias/someotherdirectory/"/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
Then restart Apache.
