Hello,
I ran my Apache 2.0.48 Server on my local PC under Win98.
Apache is installed as C:/Apache/Apache2/..
Perl (Active State 5.

is installed as c:/Perl/...
My HTML docs are under C:/EigeneDateien/EigeneWebs/TEST_WEB1/
I want to install PERL scripts within a subfolder of the test webs, e.g
C:/EigeneDateien/EigeneWebs/TEST_WEB1/cgi-bin/
To achive this, I modified the Apache HTTPD.CONFIG file.
THE PROBLEM IS: When I start the perl scrips, they browser intends to
OPEN or to save the file instead of execute it.
What is wrong with my configuration?
Is there somebody that can help me?
Best regards Torsten
Change No 1:
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
#DocumentRoot "C:/Apache/Apache2/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "C:/EigeneDateien/EigeneWebs" <<-my modification
Change No 2:
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the
client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Apache/Apache2/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/EigeneDateien/EigeneWebs/" <<<<-----!
#
# "C:/Apache/Apache2/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your
ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
#<Directory "C:/Apache/Apache2/cgi-bin">
<Directory "C:/EigeneDateien/EigeneWebs/cgi-bin"> <-----!
