C++ LANGUAGE WEB SERVER CONFIGURATION

Web Server Configuration 


Before you proceed with CGI Programming, make sure that your Web 
Server supports CGI and it is configured to handle CGI Programs. 
All the CGI Programs to be executed by the HTTP server are kept in 
a pre-configured directory. This directory is called CGI directory 
and by convention it is named as /var/www/cgi-bin. By convention CGI 
files will have extension as .cgi, though they are C++ executable.
 
By default, Apache Web Server is configured to run CGI programs 
in /var/www/cgi-bin. If you want to specify any other directory to 
run your CGI scripts, you can modify the following section in the httpd.conf file: 

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> 
   AllowOverride None 
   Options ExecCGI 
   Order allow,deny 
   Allow from all 
</Directory> 
  
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> 
Options All 
</Directory> 
Here, I assume that you have Web Server up and running successfully and 
you are able to run any other CGI program like Perl or Shell etc.
