Hi guys
I'm new to DirectAdmin and I appologise if my problem has been addressed before - but I couldn't find it in the forum.
I want to be able to:
1) run cgi/perl scripts in the cgi-bin before the domain has resolved; ie. using /~username/cgi-bin as the URL
2) run cgi/perl scripts from the root directory rather than from the cgi-bin
At the moment a 403 error message is displayed in each case.
According to the Apache tutorial, I tried adding:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
to the .htaccess file in the directory.
This did remove the error message when the script was called, but resulted in just a blank screen being displayed.
Any help would be gratefully received.
