Enabling Perl CGI Scripts

Hi,

Can someone help me to get this to work? I'm doing some testing of Perl CGI Scripts for my website, but I don't know how to enable CGI Scripting. I found this website

http://www.cgi101.com/book/connect/mac.html

but I can't modify my httpd.conf file. It seems like I don't have the proper permissions to make changes to this file, and chmod doesn't work for some reason.

Thanks,

Dan

You need to use sudo to give yourself admin privileges temporarily, like this:


sudo nano httpd.conf

It will ask for your password, then open httpd.conf in nano which is fairly self explanatory.
