cgi-bin outside httpdocs tree


I've heard that it's a good idea to put cgi-scripts outside the html-tree and so I am trying to do so. I've searched the web to get my question answered, but with no luck.

This is what i want to do:
theurl/cgi-bin

I know there is something I have to do in the httpd.conf file, I just don't know how to do it.

Sites on my whitebox are under /home/sites/theurl/web

I guess there are more people looking for this out there,.

Yours,

Trond

I will assume that you are using Apache.

Try adding a 'ScriptAlias' into your config file as described here:
