Topic: cant get cgi to work

[mrwhitee]

I cant get cgi to work on my centos box. I have been trying for two days and changed several directives in the httpd file that I have googled but nothing works. I am new to Apache so I figure maybe I have something else configured wrong.

I have all 3 domains in the home folder > username folder> htdocs folder

So its

home/username1/htdocs/cgi-bin < domain 1 is here. html is in htdocs and cgi in cgi


home/username2/htdocs/cgi-bin < domain 2 is here. html is in htdocs and cgi in cgi


home/username3/htdocs/cgi-bin < domain 3 is here. html is in htdocs and cgi in cgi

domain 3 is where I need cgi to work at the moment but I want the others to be able to have it too.

below is my httpd file. I changed the actual user names and domain names.
