[smokeping-users] Unable to click-drag to zoom

[Matt Almgren]

I noticed in the httpd error log I am seeing this:

Tobi has replied to some threads about this problem, but I'm not sure what
it means:

"check out you webserver configuration. for some reason it is trying
to execute the javascript files ... there must be some config that
is causing this ..."

I'm not sure what needs to change.

The only part of the default httpd.conf file that references cgi-bin is
this:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
#ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl"

And this from Tobi:

"you must not put these files into the cgi-bin directory since your
webserver will try to run them ... put them somewhere else!"

Well, if I put them someplace else, how is the browser know where to find
them?   What is the recommended location for them, other than
/var/www/cgi-bin ?  Or can I put something in httpd.conf to tell it not to
run them?

Thanks, Matt
