As a general matter these kind of symptoms always points out a misconfiguration at the virtual server level. > So this, http://97.107.134.151/cgi-bin/awstats.pl, works > > But this, http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl, gives error > "Oops! This link appears to be broken." So cgi-bin is properly configured for the "default" server but it is not at the given virtual server level. > I'm running apache 2.2.16-3. > > Here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default: > > <VirtualHost 97.107.134.151:80> [...] > ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ > <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> > AllowOverride None > Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch > Order allow,deny > Allow from all > </Directory> "Default" doesn't mean "use config stanzas from this site if you don't find anything more specific at the virtual server level" but "use this site if you can't find the one asked for". > Here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/oggthebase.org: > > <VirtualHost 97.107.134.151:80> > ServerAdmin r...@oggthebase.org > ServerName oggthebase.org > ServerAlias www.oggthebase.org > DocumentRoot /var/www/oggthebase.org/ > ErrorLog /var/www/oggthebase.org/logs/error.log > CustomLog /var/www/oggthebase.org/logs/access.log combined > </VirtualHost> So you didn't define a specific cgi-bin resource at the oggthebase.org level. You said in a different message this: > When I went to http://www.oggthebase.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl it generated: > > [Mon Nov 08 10:56:52 2010] [error] [client 72.0.209.165] File does not > exist: /var/www/oggthebase.org/cgi-bin > > So it is going to /var/www/oggthebase.org/cgi-bin Of course it is! You didn't define anything specific to /cgi-bin at the virtual server level, so it's going to search for the resource at [document root]/[asked-for path], exactly as it should. > I do *not* want to have a special cgi-bin for each vhost.

You can add the cgi-bin definition at every defined virtual server, so it looks like... /etc/apache2/sites-available/oggthebase.org: <VirtualHost 97.107.134.151:80> ServerName oggthebase.org ServerAlias www.oggthebase.org [...] ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> [...] </VirtualHost> Or you can "move" that config snipet to a different file and make sure you "include" it from each virtual server that needs it (the advantage being that you will need to change the definition only on one file should the need arises).
