general/2482: Missing environment variables on exec cgi

I have studied your bug report to apache and I haven't been able to reproduce it, at least in Linux. A page containing: !--#exec cgi=3D/cgi-bin/printenv prints all the expected environment variables, including REMOTE_HOST and DOCUMENT_URI. Would it be possible for you to send me a page generated by such printenv invocation? Maybe we could get some clues about the problem from that. Thanks for your report and for using apache.

mod_rewrite/2478: mod_rewrite broken under virtual hosts
The following reply was made to PR mod_rewrite/2478; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alvaro Martinez Echevarria [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Robert Blayzor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: mod_rewrite/2478: mod_rewrite broken under virtual hosts Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 05:12:10 +0200 (CEST) Hi. I've been unable to reproduce the behaviour described in your bug report to apache, not even with the example configuration in your message. Maybe mod_rewrite has been compiled as a dynamic shared object but you haven't put into your server configuration the directive (LoadModule) needed to insert it into the running daemon (this could happen if you are using with apache 1.3.0 the same configuration you used with 1.2.X). You might try to execute httpd -l and check if mod_rewrite.c appears in the list of compiled in modules. Thanks for your bug report and for using apache.

os-windows/2495: #! syntax fails because filename of script (which contains spaces) is not quoted

On my PC, this directory is D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin. When I got the Internal Server Error response, I looked at my ScriptLog file and found the following: %% [Wed Jun 24 08:40:31 1998] GET /cgi-bin/hellopbang.pl HTTP/1.0 %% 500 d:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/hellopbang.pl %request Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Mozilla/4.04 [en] (Win95; U) Host: boonies.ncifcrf.gov Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */* Accept-Language: en Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8 %response %stderr Can't open perl script d:/program: No such file or directory The above is an error message from PERL.EXE, indicating it is trying to execute d:/program (truncating the real file path at the first space) rather than D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\hellopbang.pl. I appears that the path will have to be quoted just as if it were an argument passed on the command line of a DOS shell. Also, since the above is a message from the perl interpreter, I am unsure whether it will understand the use of / in place of \, even if it does receive the whole path. Thank you for your time. How-To-Repeat: Make sure the path to the default cgi-bin directory contains spaces. Create a script hellopbang.pl: #!D:\PERL\BIN\PERL.EXE $|=1; print Content-type: text/html\n\n; print h1Hello!/h1\n; 1; and place it in the cgi-bin directory, substituting the correct location of your perl executable. Set ScriptLog in httpd.conf Fix: I don't know how the arguments are passed to the program listed on the #! line, but some how they have to be quoted. I really like this feature, (it works if the path does not contain spaces), so it would be very nice if this problem were fixed.

Unfortunately, according to the ErrorLog, Apache ignored my ScriptAlias directive and kept right on trying to run the script from the default cgi-bin (whose ScriptAlias was still in the srm.conf file, along with the new one I had set up). I got around the problem by using the Alias directive (which works... why?) instead, and specifing 'Options ExecCGI' in the Directory spec. How-To-Repeat: Set two ScriptAlias directives in srm.conf: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin/ ScriptAlias /morecgi/ D:/morecgi/ Make a second copy of the Directory D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/cgi-bin.../Directory section in access.conf and the name of the directory in the copy to D:/morecgi Put a cgi program in there, and try to access it. Look at the ErrorLog. Fix: No, Although I wonder why the Alias directive works and the ScriptAlias directive doesn't since the logic is similar.

We have one Apache server 1.2.5 with FrontPage extentions running on port 80, and another Apache 1.3.0 running on another port. This 1.3.0 server is the one where we're experiencing CGI problems (we don't allow CGIs to be run from port 80). Description: I am running a Unix system with ~8600 Time Warner web customers. The server we're having a problem with has only one job: to process CGI GET requests and return the output. It's not touched by regular user web page requests or activity--those requests all come in on port 80.. This 1.3.0 server is on a different port (the actual port number is above 1000, but I don't want to tell you what it is for security reasons, even though it wouldn't make much difference anyway) The problem I'm having is that occasionally (30 times a day in a sea of 8600 users) a GET request that runs a CGI program is not logged in the access or error log files, even though the CGI program runs without a problem (until the end), as evident from my CGI log routines. No error is seen in the error log file, not even connection closed. At the same time, the socket connection is closed from the server to the client, as evident from a telnet connection to the server port, and a SIGPIPE is sent to my CGI process when it tries to write the final output to stdout (fd 1), as evident by a ktrace/kdump inspection. Visibly, I can telnet to the server and type GET /cgi-bin/program?parameter=name and sometimes I get appropriate output, and sometimes I get Connection closed by foreign host after a few seconds. When I get this message, the GET request is not visible in any of the log files, but the CGI program gets finished with the bulk of its work and receives a SIGPIPE because it tries unsuccessfully to write any more to stdout. Catching the SIGPIPE and ignoring it cause this error instead: CALL write(0x1,0x13000,0x50) RET write -1 errno 32 Broken pipe This looks VERY similar to PR number 885... Is it really closed? What help can you give me? We are running a very critical mission with Time Warner clients. Is there any way to turn on extra logging from the server, to see if the connection is closed or if the logger is dying? Is there any way I can recover the output if the logger is dying? It is imperative that I see the output coming from CGI. How-To-Repeat: You can't connect to our servers unless you are a Road Runner customer, it's protected by IP and other things. Fix: We could work around it with a kludge, but it seems that the core issue involves a problem in the server code--particulaly the logger.
