Hi there,

I believe that you could do that by using a ScriptAlias directive in each Apache virtual host configuration. The ScriptAlias directive specifies the URL path that will be used to access CGI scripts and the file system directory where the scripts are stored:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/cgi.html

For example, you would add the following in your virtual host:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/example.com/cgi-bin/

Best,

Bobby
