How to enable directory
I have Apache 2.x running on a home server. I want my perl scripts to run and
access files in a directory that is not under Apache directory tree. Currenty I have Apache to run scripts at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs Scripts can access file there but not anywhere else. For example: <html> <p>Test</p> <p> <form action="testing.pl" method="post"> <input type="text" name="testing1" value="Hello world"> </form> </html> Above works fine but I'd like to keep my perl script at c:\pfiles on my computer. I've set: <Directory "C:/pfiles"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> in httpd.conf but below does not run: <html> <p>Test</p> <p> <form action="c:\\pfiles\\testing.pl" method="post"> <input type="text" name="testing1" value="Hello world"> </form> </html> |

I am running out of iterations. Apache seems to recognise only pl files under Apache directory branch somewhere. |
