The way the Apache web server software handles specific file types and extensions for your website is managed by Apache handlers. CGI scripts and files that have been server-parsed are handled by Apache by default. By manually adding the handler and extension, you can set Apache up to handle a new file type with an already-existing handler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go into your cPanel account and select the Apache Handlers option. By manually adding the handler and extension, you can set Apache up to handle a new file type with an already-existing handler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, to have the server treat files with the extension .example<\/em> as CGI files, you would type \u201ccgi-script\u201d under Handler<\/em> and \u201c.example\u201d under Extension(s)<\/em>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n System Apache Handlers<\/strong> are cgi-script & server-parsed under which .cgi .pl .plx .ppl .perl & .shtml are listed respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
