I see that, cgi-bin does not support image files. I mean, if I put any image in any directory within cgi-bin, then browser instaed of displaying it tries to execute the file like some script, and give error 500.

Any solution.. how can one put image files within cgi-bin?

Thanks

You can't... just enabled cgi for httpdocs and put your cgi and images there. just make sur eyou don't make a cgi-bin inside httpdocs

Thanks! can you guide me how to enable cgi for httpdocs for a user under Plesk?

Thanks

Someone give a walk thru? I know you have to comment out a line in the httpd.conf file but I can't find the httpd.conf file to edit it?
Where's it at? Thanks!

Could I ask why you would possibly want to put images in CGI-BIN anyway, can't you just call them from your httpdocs directory from within the CGI script?

SSH into your server (You are using SSH instead of Telnet, correct?)
su to root
pico into /usr/local/psa/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Look for a line which says: #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Remove the # so that it is uncommented
Crtl+X to save the file
type in /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/my_apci_rst to restart apache
You're done. Now cgi script can be run from anywhere in either the httpdocs or httpsdocs directories
