Oh great and powerful ones,

Not sure which list to post this to, but since it deals most closely with networking, I'll ask here.

I have an app that talks to another app via a socket connection, then writes out a custom perl CGI in the current Library/Webserver/CGI-Executables folder (custom server app, dedicated stock G4 QuickSilver server, OSX 10.2.3). Yes, I know it's weird to be writing CGIs directly from an app, but that's (oddly enough) part of the spec. Until this morning, this has worked flawlessly, hundreds of times a day, for about 4 months. Nothing odd has happened lately, the server is shielded by a firewall, and is accessible only from another Mac in the server room, which is accessible (for now) only from my TiBook.

As of 9am this morning, it builds the file, but the file in cgi-bin folder is *not* the same as the one I'm writing out to in the Finder. Eh... what happened? I assumed that the Library/Webserver/CGI-Exec folder redirected to the cgi-bin folder, but apparently I was wrong about that. How do I 'update' the cgi folder? Is this documented somewhere?

Is it not related to the /etc/http/httpd.conf file where this link is defined:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/"
