Hmm, I was under the assumption mod_alias would be enough.
From the mod_alias documentation page:
<docs>
ScriptAlias directive
Syntax: ScriptAlias URL-path file-path|directory-path
Context: server config, virtual host
Status: Base
Module: mod_alias
The ScriptAlias directive has the same behavior as the Alias directive,
except that in addition it marks the target directory as containing CGI
scripts. URLs with a (%-decoded) path beginning with URL-path will be mapped
to scripts beginning with the second argument which is a full pathname in the
local filesystem.
Example:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /web/cgi-bin/
A request for
http://myserver/cgi-bin/foo would cause the server to run the
script /web/cgi-bin/foo.
</docs>
There isn't anything mentioned about mod_cgi in here. If it relies on that it
might be something that needs to be added to the docs, it sure would help :-)
Appearantly you're right, this comes from the mod_cgi docs:
<docs>
This module provides for execution of CGI scripts.
Status: Base
Source File: mod_cgi.c
Module Identifier: cgi_module
Summary
Any file that has the mime type application/x-httpd-cgi or handler cgi-script
(Apache 1.1 or later) will be treated as a CGI script, and run by the server,
with its output being returned to the client. Files acquire this type either
by having a name containing an extension defined by the AddType directive, or
by being in a ScriptAlias directory.
When the server invokes a CGI script, it will add a variable called
DOCUMENT_ROOT to the environment. This variable will contain the value of the
DocumentRoot configuration variable.
For an introduction to using CGI scripts with Apache, see our tutorial on
Dynamic Content With CGI.
When using a multi-threaded MPM under unix, the module mod_cgid should be
used in place of this module. At the user level, the two modules are
essentially identical.
</docs>
As it says, it gets marked by the ScriptAlias or the AddType (mime type)
directives. If there had been a little line in the mod_alias doc that it
relied on this I could have saved you and myself a lot of time. I kinda miss
this on more modules in the documentation.
Kind regards and thanks for the help.
