From Chris to me:
This might b= e an extra complication, yes: i don't know how OSX server handles the C= GI-BIN folder in this case. Normally, you get your files in /Library/WebSer= ver/Documents/ and the engine is in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebC= atalogEngine/ (outside the server folder, with a SciptAlias)
Apache loads the engine as a module and every .dna file in /Library/We= bServer/Documents/ is interpreted.
Logically, it s= hould work with /Library/WebServer/Sites/ but since the websites might requ= est files in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebCatalogEngine/ (for inst= ance shopping carts, sandboxes or global files), i don't know how OSX s= erver will get that these files must be called through =A0different path. I= am sure it will work, but there migh be some slight modifications to do. F= eel free to ask on the talk-list, there are many users with Snow Leopard se= rver. They could help you better than i can.
sincerely,

This might b= e an extra complication, yes: i don't know how OSX server handles the C= GI-BIN folder in this case. Normally, you get your files in /Library/WebSer= ver/Documents/ and the engine is in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebC= atalogEngine/ (outside the server folder, with a SciptAlias)
