You can also look at AddHandler
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler) to
extend CGI to all .cgi files.

I wonder why didn't you start with this Wink

And I wonder why you *did* start with this...

Both solutions work, both solutions were mentioned - order is
irrelevant.

I don't think this is a problem. or, better said, such problem can appear
anywhere (e.g. just rename .php to something else)

I find AddHandler simpler and universal:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options ExecCGI

and it will work globally. If you want to enable/disable CGI's per-context,
you only need to put Options +-ExecCGI into VirtualHost/Directory/Location
secrionc.

Or simply index.cgi and let user use proper name for the script...

(e.g. "DirectoryIndex index.var index.cgi index.html")

Something like this might work:

<Location /mydir/script.cgi>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Location>

Subject: [users@httpd] Alias or ScriptAlias ?

Hi all,
I have my server with its document root running.
Now I would like to add another directory in which:
every user go to www.myserver.mine/mydir/ execute
/myserver/mydir/script.cgi
In this directory there are also some subdirs with css, icons
and html pages I would like web server shows.

If i configure it like
"ScriptAlias"
web server try to execute all inside
If i configure it like
"Alias"
and I add
"DirectoryIndex script.cgi"
"Options +ExecCGI"
web server shows me content of script.cgi without executing it.

It is not a great idea to mix static and CGI content in the same
directory since a simple misconfiguration can put your code on the web.
However, it can be done using SetHandler (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#sethandler) and Options
ExecCGI.

Something like this might work:

<Location /mydir/script.cgi>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Location>

You also need "DirectoryIndex script.cgi" in that dir...

You can also look at AddHandler
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler) to
extend CGI to all .cgi files.
