Re: [cgiwrap-users] Can't get it to work

[Jo R. <jr...@ne...>]

This is all way, way too much.  I'm not sure I could make it work at  
all like that, you're brave!

But for what you are trying to do, just compile exactly as you have,  
but add
      --without-redirect-stderr    <- major security problem!

Then change your configuration to just
   AddHandler       cgiwrap        .cgi .pl
   Action           cgiwrap        /cgiwrap
   ScriptAlias      /cgiwrap/      /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/

That's it.  Nothing else is necessary.  You can easily see and follow  
the flow of this ;-)
