Re: OT: user CGI-BIN directories

User's home directory (better special subdirectory - only for those scripts) should be registered in the config file of webserver as a directory where cgi scripts are running.

For example if You look in the Apache config file You will find such info along with my examples

# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
client.

# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as
to

# Alias.

    #
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"     ScriptAlias /pasts/ "/usr/home/mysql/php/perl/"

For other webservers it should be a little different, but not much, maybe they have some GUI interface, too.

To execute the cgi scripts thru web/HTML forms we had to put them in the common cgi-bin directory. But is there a way to have these scripts in a user's home directory and still call them thru web/HTML forms?

TIA
