[LUG] Apache directory cgi mapping

[Steve Marvell <steve@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, lost the original thread:

] How do I make /something a particular directory?

Alias /pants/ /home/steve/pants/ 

] How do I make /pants/dyno/username work?

ScriptAlias /pants/dyno /home/steve/pants/dyno/dyno.cgi

You don't actually have to put it under there, you can put it
anywhere.

You might find you want to put the directives in this order:

ScriptAlias /pants/dyno /home/steve/pants/dyno/dyno.cgi
Alias /pants/ /home/steve/pants/ 

The env var PATH_INFO will give you what you need.

http://localhost/pants/dyno/eek
PATH_INFO=/eek

So there is your username.

So, it's perl DBI to get it out of MySQL and some pattern matching to
get it out of $ENV{PATH_INFO}.

The rest is history, or possibly consultancy.
