Re: [cgiwrap-users] Looking for examples for use on Virtual Server

[Kevin Y. <ke...@in...>]

Ken, we use the following in Apache such that all CGIs with a suffix of
"cgi" are executed using CGIWrap:

   AddHandler cgiwrapper .cgi
   Action cgiwrapper /cgi-bin/cgiwrap

When used in conjunction with the mod_vhost_alias module of the latest
Apache version, you can use this to do virtual CGI execution using
CGIWrap.  It's quite convenient.
