==To enable a cgi directory for each user==

In order to give each user their own cgi-bin directory, edit the:

:Apache1 (Slackware pre-12.0): <code>/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</code> file<br>
:Apache2 (Slackware 12.0+): <code>/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-users.conf</code> file<br>

::...and add:

:<code><Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/></code>
:<code>Options ExecCGI</code>
:<code>SetHandler cgi-script</code>
:<code></Directory></code>

Then, presuming that UserDir is set to public_html, a cgi program example.cgi could be loaded from that directory as:

::<code>http://example.com/~rbowen/cgi-bin/example.cgi</code>

==To enable a cgi directory for each virtual host==

In the Virtual Host section of your apache config file (<code>/etc/apache/httpd.conf</code>) add the <code>ScriptAlias</code> line below.

:<code><VirtualHost *:80></code>
:::<code>ServerName www.''MyDomain''.org</code>
:::<code>DocumentRoot /home/''MyDomain''/public_html</code>
:::<code>ErrorLog /var/log/''MyDomain''/error.log</code>
:::<code><b>ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/''MyDomain''/public_html/cgi-bin/"</b></code>
:<code></VirtualHost></code>
