I am following this tutorial and it is asking me to save proxy.cgi in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

There is no directory in www with the name cgi-bin. Do I need to create a directory there? I think the tutorial's guidance is for a RPM-based linux distribution, but I may be wrong.

On Ubuntu, the standard cgi-bin directory is /usr/lib/cgi-bin.

Can we create cgi-bin in /var/www?? – Sam007 May 22 '12 at 1:22
You can if you want. Just update your apache config to find it there. – tumbleweed May 22 '12 at 17:42
I am new to Ubuntu, could tell me how can i update apache config and what should i enter? – Sam007 May 22 '12 at 17:43
You'd change the ScriptAlias line in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (or add one to applicable vhost) – tumbleweed May 23 '12 at 18:29
