LinuxQuestions.org - Creating a cgi-bin folder

Hello, I tried asking my question in another forum and no one answered so either it's a really hard question.. or a really dumb question. I've done hours of searching for my answer but cannot find anything. But I may be using the incorrect nomenclature.

So, I'm a PHP programmer who's newer to linux. I have written a script in C that talks to mysql. I have future plans for this as it would be quicker than PHP. We have a dedicated server at goDaddy that has a cgi-bin, but it's not accessible from http. I think this is due to internal IP mapping. Both IP addresses that go to this server are internally pointed to two separate accounts.

I want to create a cgi-bin in those created accounts to run the (compiled) C scripts when accessed from a browser. I did find this, can I adjust the httpd.conf file at this point to "move" the cgi-bin file to inside the public_html folder in the setup account? Or is there a better way to "create" a new cgi-bin using command line?

Thanks!

Code:

# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that

# documents in the realname directory are trested 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/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"



# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

#

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
