# line 3: add file name that it can access only with directory's name
DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi

root@www05:~# vi /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf

# line 165: uncomment and add extensions for CGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

root@www05:~# vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

# line 2: change to webmaster's email

root@www05:~# ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
