AddHandler cgi-script .htm

[StopSpam]

I have a question ...

i got a folder with many htm files
and i got one cgi script ...located in same folder

Now i want to give the cgi file a html extension
so visitors dont know its a cgi ...

i created a .htaccess file

AddHandler cgi-script .htm

now i have renamed the script.cgi to script.htm
and it works the script loads fine and has name script.htm

but now problem is all other htm files are giving a 501 error as the .htaccess says there scripts.

is there a extra line i can add to the .htaccess or other trickto run the script as htm and the htm files as plain htm pages?

Your HTML files have the extension .htm, right? Why don't you just use
AddHandler cgi-script .html
?

You're the only one who knows that .html stands for CGI script and .htm for static page.

that would solve it i know ...

but i can not name it html all files must be named htm
as other sites are aready linking to the htm pages

and one htm page i wish toreplace with a script

site links curently to page.htm
soon iwant toreplace page.htm for a cgi script named page.htm

but how can i keep other htm pages load as normal html source pages?

is there a sort adhandler that says only page.htm can wotk as cgi?

You could try the following in your htaccess file:
(Remove the AddType line and add these instead)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^page\.htm$ page.cgi [L]

Simply add more RewriteRules for pages that need to be executed as scripts.

Like

RewriteRule ^script\.htm$ script.cgi [L]

.htaccess is only the place to configure your webserver. The capabilities here are provided by the mod_rewrite module. To use this capabilities, mod_rewrite must be installed on your server; on virtual server accounts it is very often not installed, because it costs some CPU time.
