Let's say I want to add another directory in addition to the /Library/WebServer/CGI- Executables directory? Let's say i want to add this directory: /Users/Mike/Sites/cgi-bin how would I add it? like this?? (this syntax works fine, but doesn't work... I don't want to uncomment the AddHandler line #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi --------------------------------------------------- <Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory "/Users/kniles/Sites/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

  You're missing a key ingredient: "ScriptAlias", which tells Apache what files under what directories should be executed as CGI files.
  
  ScriptAlias is crucial to use when you're not going to use the AddHandler directives. I'd modify your above <Directory> to:
  
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Users/kniles/Sites/cgi-bin"
  <Directory "/Users/kniles/Sites/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options ExecCGI
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  </Directory>

  I was wondering how to do this too. Thanks!!
  
  I'd also like to say how great this series has been - I knew absolutely NOTHING about apache or unix before reading these articles, and now I'm configuring my own web server! Thanks for making this stuff approachable.
