Enabling CGI support

You need to enable CGI support to generate applications that use Embedded HTML.

To use Embedded HTML, you must have the following in place:

Project Specifications

Your Eclipse project must be a native COBOL project created by choosing File > New > COBOL Project or File > New > Remote COBOL Project and selecting Native as the compilation target.
In your project properties, choose Micro Focus > Build Configurations > Link and set Run Time Model to Dynamic.

Apache server:

You need to configure the server as shown below. This example was created with Apache 2.4.

Enable mod_cgi

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so

Enable mod_env

LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so

Specify a /cgi-bin script alias. For example:

<IfModule alias_module>
 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "${SRVROOT}/cgi-bin/"
</IfModule>

Enable ExecCGI for the directory that contains your cgi executable. For example:

<Directory "${SRVROOT}/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Micro Focus Licensing Specifications
If you are using a version of the COBOL Run-Time System earlier than the one supplied with the latest Visual COBOL, you must set the MFCES_INIT_LOCATION environment variable to point to your ces.ini file. For example:
```
SetEnv MFCES_INIT_LOCATION "c:\programdata\micro focus\ces.ini"
```
