Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask. Pls. forgive me if it is not.
I would like to set up a NSCA http server which allows user running cgi and SSI. The
config. files for sources have been edited by adding the following line:
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi .pl .sh
There was no problem if the suffix of my Perl script was ".cgi". However the text of the
script was returned if the suffix was ".pl". I wonder whether I have missed something in
the configurations.
I want to limit the running of cgi scripts in "/http/cgi-bin" and "~user/cgi-bin". I
wonder whether someone could provide suggestions/advises in achieiving this.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Alan
