Using apache 2.4 and Oracle Virtual Box using the Red Hat (Linux) OS. I'm trying to prepare Apache to handle CGI scripts but I'm a little stuck. I believe I've downloaded all the necessary files. I know next I am supposed to do something in the configuration files. The page I'm currently stuck on is: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html
I'm not sure if I need to do everything on this page or one?
Thanks |

Load the module
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
it for cgi / pl files
| Code: |
<Files ~ "\.cgi$">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Files>
<Files ~ "\.pl$">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
</Files>

Uncomment the cgi_module line in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
The code block that I posted goes into your vhost where you want the perl scripts to run. |
