Configure Apache to serve PERL pages ( Ubuntu )


Written on May 30, 2008 – 5:59 pm | by Rene

I just reinstalled my ubuntu distribution, and have to configure apache to serve perl pages outside of the cgi-bin directory, after a little bit of googling i found the solution.

You have to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add to it the following lines.

  1.  
  2. AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
  3. <Files ~ "\.pl$">
  4. Options +ExecCGI
  5. </Files>
  6. <Files ~ "\.cgi$">
  7. Options +ExecCGI
  8. </Files>
  9.
