Topic: Execute Permission for user defined

[pascalganesh]

Hi all,

New to Apache.

Installed Apache successfully on Win XP Pro

Home Directory is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs

I have created a directory C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\scripts

I need to give "Scripts and executable" permission for this new folder I have created. How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

In windows there are no file permissions per se, however, in Apache config, add ExecCGI to the options for the directory in question

Thank you for your reply.

Should I add that this as a line in the following config file
c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
?

or should I mention the directory name and then add it?

Thanks

Ganesh

Well, seeing that your path to Apache include the words Apache Group, you have a ASF release.

How an ASF release comes after install, it will basically execute anything in
c:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache\\cgi-bin provided

yes, in httpd.conf, Stock Apache frpm ASF

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


further down in httpd.conf

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .whatever

that handles Perl. PHP is a different beast
PHP can be executed anywhere in the document directory without much trouble.

Install PHP
Configure properly
Load correct module in Apache
add

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

to httpd.conf .. most also add

PHPIniDir c:/php (off top of head, probably not exactly right)

if you put the php.ini file in the windows directory, you don't even have to do that.

Even tho this is not unix, you seem to have a unix mindset (working with paid hosting servers), so don't get un-used to using the forward slash /

Perl, php and Apache require it or a double \\ ... unlike your examples in your last post.


Also, don't be afraid to read

Thank you so much for your time.


How can I make Apache look for an isapi dll in my folder?

Thanks
