How to run the cgi program

Question

I am new to cgi and with an example I wrote a small program in C ++ that I compiled into a file .cgi.

My question is: do I need a separate web server? I have lighttpd as my default web server ... If I can run the thought of lighttpd, please explain how I can do this ...

Answer 1

• Make sure your .cgi file is executable, and place it under your web root.
• Enable cgi http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/Docs:ModCGI
• go to the page. :)
