Re: [cgiwrap-users] a virualhost scenario

[k.s.guleesh <k.s...@go...>]

On further investigation moving my public_html folder and contents
to /root and removing my mapping from cgiwrap.userdir has allowed the
script to work.

i.e letting cgiwrap resolve the user dir naturally and not mapping
root:/admin/public_html/cgi-bin

so my question becomes how to use cgiwrap.userdir to map root to cgi-bin
location - are there some ./configure options I need to use ?
