Hello

I would simply appreciate knowing if there is an easy way for multiple users to each have their own cgi-bin directory like the following example...

/htdocs/users/Jack/cgi-bin/...some script
/htdocs/users/Jane/cgi-bin/...some script

Each cgi-bin directory must also allow images and other non-cgi files. Can some kind person here please give a tired old man some simple, step-by-step instructions on exactly how I go about do this?. I have fiddled around until I am blue in the face but no luck so far )-: .

Also, I was just wondering if there is anything I need to be concerned about with running user accounts under Windows XP/Apache 2.0.

Finally, I've tried aliasing and using cgiEXEC/execCGI (or whatever it's called) and even did some reading about suEXEC but I either was'nt able to understand it or could'nt get the examples to work. I'd really like to open user accounts via the example shown above and keep it simple rather than turning this into a crash-course in rocket science.

Is this possible (or can I *make* it possible with a little adaptation) and what are some of the things I need to be concerned about?. I want to keep users separated from each other and most importantly, from the server itself. Each user will have their own FTP account that only allows access to their folder but I'm sure there is something else I need to do here.

Thank you very much!
