Running a CGI script via Apache Web Server

Hi,

I am trying to run an executable .cgi script via a web browser.  Rather than running the script, the contents of the script are displayed in the web browser.

I am not sure what I am missing, can anyone point me in the right direction?  Anything needed for diagnosis, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Running a CGI script via Apache Web Server

A very useful tutorial, many thanks for that.

The fix I needed was to add ExecCGI to the Options directive, all working now.
