.htaccess: an example of the Apache per-directory configuration file
Using bloxsom as my weblog designing application, I had to provide some settings to the Apache
.htaccess
configuration file to fine-tune the usage of my site:- tell Apache to load
index.cgi
in addition to the defaultindex.htm
- rewrite the requested address adding
www.
if it's omitted - rewrite the requested address adding
index.cgi
if it's omitted - and for bandwidth reduction, forbid robots from crawling some pages

WAMP & Perl - Windows Apache, MySQL, PHP with CGI scripts written in Perl
I need Perl to run Blosxom, an open source and free CGI script to create blogs.
So I installed WAMP5 1.6.4a and ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 with MSI installer.
I already have my site on my disk, so I told my site directory to WAMP during the setup procedure and then I pointed my browser to http://localhost/index.cgi but it displayed the cgi instead of executing it.
This is what I did to make it work:

Running PHP scripts from command-line with WAMP (Windows Apache, MySQL, PHP)
On my old pc I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP singularly, and I made some PHP scripts to be runned from command-line, like this:
c:\php\php -f myscript.phpOn my new pc I installed WAMP5 1.6.4, all was running fine (phpMyAdmin, my local website, php scripts pointed to by the browser) but php scripts launched by command-line reported
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in myscript.phpObviously I changed the php path to
c:\wamp\php\php
but with no results.Solution: change the command to
c:\wamp\php\php -c c:\wamp\apache2\bin -f myscript.phpThe -c option tells php to search php.ini in the directory specified, and that's needed because WAMP puts php.ini in Apache bin directory, while with a PHP regular installation php.ini is located in the php.exe directory.
