/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables
I copied all the files from the 'revserver' folder into the 'CGI-Executables' 
folder - without the enclosing 'revserver' folder.

My mods were applied to the /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file, and each 
changed line has a '## PD 201010xx' tag on the end of it.

First, for the record:
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"

Note - I tried adding some directives in an .htaccess file inside this directory 
but since removed the file.


--- Now the first set of changes ---------------------------------------------

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
     AddHandler irev-script .irev  ## PD 20101018 added
     Action irev-script /cgi-bin/revserver  ## PD 20101018 added
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI  ## PD 20101018 added 
'ExecCGI'
     AllowOverride All   ## PD 20101018 replaced 'None' with 'All' for .htaccess 
overrides

     #
     # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
     #
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all

</Directory>

--- Second set of changes -----------------------------------------------------

<IfModule alias_module>
     #
     ScriptAliasMatch ^/cgi-bin/((?!(?i:webobjects)).*$) 
"/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/$1"

     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/revserver 
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/revserver  ##  PD 20101020 added

</IfModule>

--- Third set of changes -------------------------------------------------------

<IfModule mime_module>
     #
     # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from
     # filename extension to MIME-type.
     #
     TypesConfig /private/etc/apache2/mime.types

    AddType application/x-compress .Z
     AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

     # For type maps (negotiated resources):
     #AddHandler type-map var

     AddHandler irev-script .irev  ##  PD 20101020 added
     Action irev-script /cgi-bin/revserver  ##  PD 20101020 added

     #AddType text/html .shtml
     #AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</IfModule>

10.5.8 Build 9L30 - not OS X server.
