OK so I lost my server and the httpd.conf was NOT backed up. I think i'm just about back, but my CGI's aren't working. The errors that are coming up say that the Option ExecCGI is not enabled for the directory. Now I adda a VirtualHost container for each virtual host, and put the Options in there. I did NOT make a Directory container for the folder of each of the web sites. I can't remember how I had it before, but before it worked perfect. I had no cgi-bin, cgi's, worked where ever i put them, SSI's worked with the bit hack, using the html suffix. Do I have to create directory containers for each web folder? If I do, which attributes go in there, and which go in the virtual host container, and where exactly do they go in the httpd.conf file? That attributes I have in my virtual host containers are...

Code:
<VirtualHost *>
	ServerName server.com
    ServerAlias www.server.com
	Options ExecCGI Indexes Includes
    ServerAdmin user@server.com
    DocumentRoot /webfolder/server
    ErrorLog /path/to/error_log.txt
	ErrorDocument 404 404.html
	XBitHack on
</VirtualHost>

What version of Apache are you using?

Anyway, I am no Apache expert, but I though you had to add a ScriptAlias line to each virtual host, like:

Code:
 ScriptAlias /pathToCgi-binOnWeb/ /pathToCgi-binOnServer/

for example my config looks like:

Code:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/notyourtypical.com/cgi-bin/

I never messed with the ExecCGI options within Virtual Host containers, because ExecCGI is on for all hosts by default, and I never figures why I would turn them off for some. But I admin both sites on the server, so I don't have to worry about who I want to have running CGI scripts.

I hope this helps!
