The browser WEB pages and cgi-bin binaries expect these
two directories to be next to each other in ${WEBROOT}
since referrals in html are often: "../cgi-bin"
- Please note, at this time there are several hard-coded root
- pathways in the browser CGI binaries that require them
- to reside in Apache's WEBROOT hierarchy in order to function.
- Until these path names are corrected, the browser will
- only function in this location.
+ The browser should function even if WEBROOT is in a different
+ directory from the primary Apache web root. In this case,
+ the three directories: html cgi-bin and trash should be
+ at the same level in this other WEBROOT. For example:
+ /some/other/directory/path/html/
+ /some/other/directory/path/cgi-bin/
+ /some/other/directory/path/trash/
+ Symlinks to the trash directory should exist from the html
+ and cgi-bin directory. As so:
+ /some/other/directory/path/html/trash -> ../trash
+ /some/other/directory/path/cgi-bin/trash -> ../trash
5. Create html, cgi-bin and trash directories:
mkdir ${WEBROOT}/html
mkdir ${WEBROOT}/cgi-bin
