Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi team,

I have a typical problem with cgi pages in apache webserver in WINDOWS

I am able to execute(display) the pages that are saved in cgi-bin folder.
But I am not able to execute the pages stored in htdocs or other folder other than cgi-bin folder.

Could anyone please let me know how to run the cgi programs from other folders..

Regards,
J

It is part of server configuration to designate where execuatables can lie, else it opens big security problems. You can write a cgi there that runs things elsewhere. I believe you can tree down into subfolders of allowed folders.
