| How do I setup an cgi-bin on a sub or parked domain?
|
Follow the following steps:
- Login to the site manager.
- Click on Domain Settings from the menu on the left.
- Select the Web Aliases tab.
- Click on the domain that you want to set up the alias for.
- Click on New Alias...
- Click on the Radio button next to Script Alias (CGI executable)
- Create an alias name (most common is: /cgi-bin/) and enter the absolute path.
Example:
Main domain: mydomain.com
Sub Domain: subdomain.com
If subdomain.com points to a folder called subdomain within mydomain.com, and you want to create a cgi-bin for the subdomain, you would need to enter the absolute path as:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/subdomain/cgi-bin/
Note: Make sure that the cgi-bin folder has been created within the subdomain folder.
