Programmer asking for link to cg-bin

Hi, I neeed to know how to give a programmer access to my cgi-bin folder, and if I can just give him access to the main cg0bin folder of can i put a cgi-bin folder into the website folder and give it 755 acess to make it work the same way?

If you are using apache 1.3.##, then you can configure any subdirectory of your htdocs directory to run cgi scripts by adding the following to your httpd.conf file:

Code:

        <Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/somedir>

                Options +ExecCGI

        </Directory>

Or, if your server allows .htaccess files (not a good idea for large sites or slow servers), then you can create a .htaccess file in the directory where you want to run cgi scripts. The file should contain this line:

Options +ExecCGI

Check out the following link for more info about configuring an apache server:

Specifically, this link for cgi configuration:

Enjoy!
