I was trying to figure out how to allow all my users /cgi-bin/ directories to permit cgi scripts. I came across the ScriptAliasMatch directive from the apache website. There was a small tutorial that used pattern matching to catch /Users/(any user)/Sites/cgi-bin/(any script) I tested the printenv and test-cgi scripts from the /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/ -- the printenv script worked -- but the test-cgi script gave me an Internal Server Error. I checked the error_log, it said "malformed header from script. Bad header=bootstrap_look_up() failed" -- Anybody got a clue ? I know that the printenv is a perl script, and test-cgi is a tcsh script, and all the permissions are fine. -- I got the same error on a networked computer with 2 different users (1 is an administrator -although I doubt that matters) ---------------------------- ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/])/cgi-bin/(.) /Users/$1/Sites/cgi-bin/$2 <Directory /Users/*/Sites/cgi-bin/> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
