apache on XP, HTML files don't work in cgi-bin and .htaccess problem
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have installed apache (latest version) on my Windows XP home
desktop. I have two problems:
1. I cannot get HTML files working in cgi-bin directory. I read that
the server expects only executables in that directory. I can get it
working under htdocs. However, can someone suggest the procedure to
configure it to get it working under cgi-bin
2. I had a .htaccess and .htpassword file working on a LINUX server
hosted by someone else. I just had an account on that server. If I copy
these files into the directory I want to restrict access, it doesn't
work. Any idea, how to do this on XP?
Thanks.

I'ld rather strongly advise against putting non-executables in /cgi-bin ...
If you ever want to host this site at some shared host with some provider,
they WON'T EVER make these changes for you.

'doesnt work' means access4all or access4none?

At least rebuild the .htpasswd as the encryption used on Linux is not
available at Windows.
Using md5 encryption the newly created file is to work on both sysytems
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htpasswd.html
Check your .htaccess IS being processed.

| Thanks. Can anyone tell me how to make a file/folder to be world
writable on Windows XP home. I moved my files from cgi-bin to htdocs,
but one of the folders has all the logs. My programs are not able to
open the files to write.
Thanks.
