Running a CGI app

[shivakarsh]

I've created my own cgi app. in VB. Now how do I configure apache to run my app for a certain extension?

Have a look at the ScriptAlias command in the default httpd.conf :

#
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
# ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
# documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
# run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
# The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
# Alias.
#
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/"

#
# "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

</IfModule>

This way it will expect scripts in that dir.

Can't help you with VB specifics though...

You have to add the exe file to the beginning of the file like this.

#!/path/to/your/app.exe

#
#The rest of the code goes here
