Thread: Configure Apache to enable cgi-bin user directories

what right (ubuntu) way configure apache2 allow all users have cgi scripts under their
/home/*/public_html/*...*/cgi-bin

is

• scripts may located in sub-directory depth under /home/${user}/public_html
• allow suffix script file.
• run user=${user} permissions.

currently, have tried endless configurations settings.
example
/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf

code:

<ifmodule mod_userdir.c>    userdir public_html    userdir disabled root      <directory /home/*/public_html>      allowoverride none      options +execcgi +includes multiviews indexes symlinksifownermatch      addhandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py      order allow,deny      allow    </directory>  </ifmodule>

but in browser javascript console, still
post http://localhost/cgi-bin/foo.cgi 404 (not found)

when have (0755)
/home/yotam/public_html/foo/cgi-bin/foo.cgi
/home/yotam/public_html/cgi-bin/foo.cgi

did try going user directory problem happening?

in browser, use following urls relates setup:

code:

a users main site: http://localhost/<username>/  users directory on site: http://localhost/<username>/foo/cgi-bin/foo.cgi  users main cgi-bin location: http://localhost/<username>/cgi-bin/foo.cgi

<username> = users have public_html directory

hope helps.
