[SOLVED] Directory for storing CGI scripts

zak100 · 10-02-2013, 03:44 AM

Hi,
I am able to display the test page of APache HTTP server on Fedora but I cant find cgi-bin directory and httpd.conf file. Plz guide me where to store cgi programs based upon PERL:

Code:

[root@HP-UX603EE guest]# service httpd start
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
[root@HP-UX603EE guest]# 

[guest@HP-UX603EE sbin]$ whereis cgi
cgi:
[guest@HP-UX603EE sbin]$

and

Code:

[guest@HP-UX603EE sbin]$ ls httpd.*
httpd.event  httpd.worker
[guest@HP-UX603EE sbin]$ whereis httpd
httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd.worker /usr/sbin/httpd /usr/sbin/httpd.event /etc/httpd /usr/lib/httpd /usr/share/man/man8/httpd.8.gz
[guest@HP-UX603EE sbin]$

Kindly guide me in this regard.

Zulfi.

Hi,

In a default apache installation, the cgi directory is /var/www/cgi-bin
