Apache config question
Greetings, I have a Freebsd 6.0-Release system that I just installed. I have installed Apache 1.3.33 from the ports system. I can see the index.html file when I point my browser to the server. What I can't do is : browse to : http://server/cgi-bin/cscripts/myscript.cgi I get a 404 Not found. The requested URL /cgi-bin/myscript.cgi was not found on this server. The file myscript.cgi is located in the /usr/local/www/cgi-bin directory. I verified this. I have added: Directory /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/cscripts deny from all Options ExecCGI AllowOverride AuthConfig Order deny,allow /Directory to the http.conf file. I did /usr/local/sbin/apachectl stop /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start. of course /usr/local/sbin/apachectl configtest says the config file is OK. What am I missing here ? thanks, Darryl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You might find a line saying File not found: /usr/some/where/you/didnot/expect/cgi-bin ... next, check the permissions of the sub-dir you created in cgi-bin, and lastly, the permissions of the cgi-bin itself, both should be world read/executable. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What am I missing here ? well, is your script really in www/cgi-bin/ or is it really in www/cgi-bin/cscripts/ ? Your config and testing examples are not consistent as written above. That may just be transcription error due to writing email in a state of puzzlement/frustration, but if not, that inconsistency is clearly part of the problem. Also, you may have reasons for trying to do things this way, but it is really not necessary to give any special httpd.conf directives (e.g. ExecCGI) for subdirectories of cgi-bin, which is already configured as a ScriptAlias by default. Everything under it is considered to be executable if file system permissions are correct and Apache's access controls allow entry. The configtest only tells you that your config file is syntactically valid, not that it's the right thing to do. One would normally only need to add the ExecCGI option to a special directory in your normal document space (storage areas not already designated as ScriptAlias content), but not to children of cgi-bin. Just make your script files executable by permissions (755) and let the default config handle it. In short, your config seems rather odd to me, but I'm no expert beyond the simplest CGI needs and as I said, maybe you have reasons for added complexity. If not, don't add complexity where not needed. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Apache config question
Sorry for the top post but I don't want anyone wasting any more time on this. The problem was simple. Operator error. The script was in cscript folder. When I typed in the browser, I omitted the folder name ie http://servername/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi instead of the correct http://servername/cgi-bin/cscript/myscript.cgi Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

Apache config question
Ok I installed Apache and when I try to start apache I get the following error message. Could not determine services fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for service name. apache_1.3.29 HTTPD could not be started. I am on DSL (not static) and have a netgear router, which functions as a DHCP server. Do I have my network card configured wrong or is it something else.

Kjell, Thanx that cleared up the error message. Now I get httpd cannot start. What did I do wrong.

Try editing /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf What is your ServerName? If I look in my inetd.conf I find the following: # ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for # your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use # www instead of the host's real name). # # Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you # define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand # this, ask your network administrator. # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/) # anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way. # # 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name. # ServerName www.la3sg.net If you have not done any editing, the ServerName is commented out. In that case I believe you will receive your error message.
