Re: Debian Apache package
What about the ScriptAlias option in httpd.conf, or am I missing the point? I
believe you can put it in a virtual host, so that it looks like the following:
<VirtualHost www.virtualhost1.tld>
ServerAdmin webmaster@somedomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/virtualhost1/html
ScriptAlias /home/virtualhost1/cgi-bin
</VirtualHost>

by something as simple as wild dogs.
