    running SuSE 7.1 with apache server...can view tilda users but the cgi-bin dir is not viewable. However the cgi-bin works under www.yourname.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi but not under /~test/cgi-bin/test.cgi - comes back with file not found

    any suggestions...all dir are chmod correctly and so are the cgi files ?

    thats an easy one mate. 
    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

    thers an example of the typicial setup for apache and users directorys. now correct me if im wrong but i dont see any cgi-bin record there and usually you wont ever see one there. its a bad idea letting every user to execute there own cgi's.

    what ya could do, if you really wanted was setup each user as a vhost.

    username.domain.tld

    <VirtualHost 192.168.0.3>
    ServerAdmin admin@domain.tld
    ServerName username.domain.tld
    DocumentRoot /home/username/webdir
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/webdir/cgi-bin/
    </VirtualHost>

    thats easy to do.
