may look like this:
- <div class="example"><p><code>

<p>The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>
directive looks like:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/
- </code></p></div>
+ </pre>

<p>The example shown is from your default <code>httpd.conf</code>
configuration file, if you installed Apache in the default
file, to specify that CGI execution was permitted in a particular
directory:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- <Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/somedir><br />
- <span class="indent">
- Options +ExecCGI<br />
- </span>
- </Directory>
- </code></p></div>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
+<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/somedir>
+ Options +ExecCGI
+</Directory>
+ </pre>
+
<p>The above directive tells Apache to permit the execution
of CGI files. You will also need to tell the server what
files with the <code>cgi</code> or <code>pl</code> extension as CGI
programs:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
- </code></p></div>
+ </pre>
+
<h3><a name="htaccess" id="htaccess">.htaccess files</a></h3>
<code>.cgi</code> in users' directories, you can use the
following configuration.</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- <Directory /home/*/public_html><br />
- <span class="indent">

- </span>
- </Directory>
- </code></p></div>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">
+<Directory /home/*/public_html>
+ Options +ExecCGI
+ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
+</Directory>
+ </pre>
+
<p>If you wish designate a <code>cgi-bin</code> subdirectory of
a user's directory where everything will be treated as a CGI
program, you can use the following.</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- <Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin><br />
- <span class="indent">
- Options ExecCGI<br />
- SetHandler cgi-script<br />
- </span>
- </Directory>
- </code></p></div>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">

+ Options ExecCGI
+ SetHandler cgi-script

+ </pre>
+

<p>Make sure that this is in fact the path to the
