OK, here we go. Jim described CGI for you so you have some idea of what is happening here. I got mine to run but still have some errors with my m2web.cgi script.
I am suggesting a slight variation on the instructions found on http://vista.vmth.ucdavis.edu/notebook/index/48.html as these instructions are consistent to an apache compiled from source. If you are working with a Red Hat box and you don't know apache that well it can be a mind blower. Follow the instructions above to step 4. I will explain steps 5-8, which is going to be a bit different for a Red Hat box. 1. Instead of copying m2web-vista-site file to a directory let's edit our apache server configuration file with the new Virtual Host stanza contained within the m2web-vista-site file. We need to change some of the paths for logging etc. I will include my edited version below so you can copy and paste into your config. Just edit the IP and the ServerName. 2. After we add the VirtualHost stanza to our /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file with the contents of m2web-vista-file we need to make sure that the suexec is setup correctly. suexec let's the apache web server execute scripts as a different user. In our example we want the server to execute the scripts as vista. Make sure you have the suexec module loaded into apache. Look for a line in httpd.conf like so. LoadModule suexec_module modules/mod_suexec.so Also make sure the permissions are set on the suexec binary. This is a slight security risk as this binary is set to execute as the root user chown root.apache /usr/sbin/suexec chmod 4750 /usr/sbin/suexec ls -l /usr/sbin/suexec 3. Now restart your web server and see if you can access your virtual vista server. # service httpd restart Go to your browser and give it a whirl. ---------------------------------- <VirtualHost PUT-YOUR-IP-ADDRESS-HERE:80> ServerName vista.oswizards.com ServerAlias vista ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] SuexecUserGroup vista vista DocumentRoot /var/www/vista/ <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> <Directory "/var/www/vista/"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/vista_error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.
