It's common to name the [[cgi]] "ikiwiki.cgi", and put it somewhere
like `~/public_html/ikiwiki.cgi`, or `/var/www/wiki/ikiwiki.cgi`.
These instructions are for Debian systems, but the basic
configuration changes should work anywhere.

## apache 2
-* Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add a line like this:
+* Make sure the cgi module is loaded. (Ie, `a2enmod cgi`).
+ Note that the cgid module will not work.
+
+* Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (or /etc/apache2/mods-available/mime.conf)
+ and add a line like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Or, if you've put it in a `~/public_html`, edit
`/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf`.
- You may also want to install some dependencies to enable CGI in apache2 setup as: `libcgi-formbuilder-perl` and `libcgi-session-perl`.
-
* If your wiki is in `~/public_html` and does not appear when you enter the URL given by the installer, check that you have
the userdir mod enabled (there should be simlinks to userdir.load and userdir.conf in /etc/apache2/modes-enabled). If not,
run `a2enmod userdir` and reload apache2.
