Re: Apache cgi-bin for users

["Marcel Hicking" <hicking@du.gtn.com>]

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/customers/cgi-bin/

See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias

Please make really(!) sure what security implications it
has to allow not trustworthy people (customers ;-) to run
programms on _your_ server. Hint: Look for cgi-wrap and
changeroot.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/suexec.html
 or better

Cheers,
Marcel
