ScriptAlias

Synopsis

ScriptAlias symbolic_path real_path

Description

[server config, within <VirtualHost>]

Creates a virtual directory of CGI programs by mapping a symbolic pathname that is used in a URL to a real directory of executable CGI programs on your server. Instead of returning a document in that directory, the server runs a requested file within a CGI environment and returns the output. For example:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/frank/cgi-bin/

See Chapter 12 for more information on CGI.
