CGI problems

Hi,
I hope this is the correct group to post this question. I have set up a cgi
bin /var/www/website/cgi-bin with some perl scripts that worked on a similar
server before we took it down. Transferring the files to the new server
didn't work untill we put the files in /var/www/website/cgi.

For our forms to work (unless we want to rewrite every one of them) they
need to be in /var/www/website/cgi-bin. Where is the configuration script to
change it from cgi to cgi-bin? I am running fedora c1, apache 2 and using
the cgi bin in the virtual host area of httpd.conf.

Thanks,

This is an Apache problem, you need an apache group, let me suggest
alt.apache.configuration

Sounds like your httpd.conf has
ScriptAlias /cgi/ "/var/www/cgi/"
instead of
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
and it is a simple matter of either changing the ScriptAlias or
using two of them.
