I have a virtual domain with two aliased sites, I would like to run cgi scripts from the aliased sites so they look like they are running directly on them. So I set up a symbolic link to the main sites cgi-bin dir. It works except the cgi's wont execute, all I get is 404 errors. Any other file loads fine. Is this possible? am I missing something. Thanks

I believe that you can add an entry for the virtual domain in httpd.conf that will setup the path to cgi-bin for the domain. I'm assuming that you can point it to the sym link, however I don't have time to test this. The entry would look something like this:

<virtualhost www.domain.com>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www/domain/subdir/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /cgi-domain/ /www/domain/subdir/cgi-bin/
User domain
Group domaingrp
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
ServerName www.domain.com
ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
DocumentRoot /www/domain/subdirctory
TransferLog logs/eulalas-access-log
</virtualhost>


Give that a try. It should work properly.

I could be wrong here, but you might have to include the ability to follow symbolic links in the cgi-directory directive of your apache config.

I'm not altogether sure it's there by default, but it should look something like this :

Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
