CGI can't write file outside of cgi-bin?

[pcorchary]

Subject sez it all ... why?

I'm new to Apache config (used Netscape and CERN).

I want all CGIs to write a log to another directory, and one CGI needs to create a text-file report in another directory.

I could have a periodic cron script that moves them, but why?

Thanks in advance.

Search your httpd.cong for the following and do what it says..

# If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
# ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
#
# To use CGI scripts:
#
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Depending on your perl setup, you may also want to change it to

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Hope this helps Wullie
