  If you drop the executable cgi {programs|scripts} in the cgi-bin/
directory, it should "just work". The version of Apache that comes with
FreeBSD 2.1R is 0.8.4 I believe, and there is a newer release you should
consider installing.


: I have my FreeBSD system up and running, and it seams to be working well.
: I also have Apache running.  I have changed nothing from the configuration
: from what was setup by the FreeBSD installation.  

: I believe that Apache is running under the userid nobody.

: My questions are these.  What type of cgi scripts can I currently run?
: Should I change anything in the configuration?

: Thanks very much for any help.
