RE: [Plug] Executing CGI Scripts outside cgi-bin

[Kyle Burton <mortis@voicenet.com>]

You could set up another alias in the conf files, like the existing one
for cgi-bin:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/

add one for your test scripts, with a differnet alias:

ScriptAlias /my-cgi-bin/ /home/mirror/cgi-bin


then just access it via the my-cgi-bin url.  If you're really doing an
entire mirror, including html files that reference back to the cgi
programs, then setting up another instance of apache is probably your
best bet, as you won't have to muck with the absolute/relative pathing
of urls in your html/cgi programs to deal with the differnet locations.
