RE: [users@httpd] cgi scripts not running

[Stephen Elmer]

Hello Mark.   Tried replacing    <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> with <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”>     Looking thro the Apache docs it should be <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”>    And   The +ExecCGI as far as I can tell is not needed as there is only one option within <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”> so it’s the most specific one. But I did try it anyway!       I’ve been trying various things ;   I can http://localhost/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi and see the script run correctly   However, viewing the html file that invokes the script named by ACTION gives the error message The file /cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi cannot be found   The complete line is <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="">   I’ve tried putting a / infront of the cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi        by the way     Document_root=/var/www/html   Cgi-bin =/var/www/cgi-bin   Shebang line is ok, the script works from command line          Thanks for you help, I’ll happily try any other suggestions     Stephen             -----Original Message----- From: Mark Feather [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 July 2005 23:20 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi scripts not running   Allso is   <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”>   Options ExecCGI     the same as   <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”>   Options +ExecCGI       Try replacing   <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> with <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin”>   Thanks Wesley for your reply.   Unfortunately that not it, the script has the extension .cgi     I find it a bit odd that unless I put the entire path in my web page, the script cannot be found.    i.e. I have to put     ACTION="" instead of ACTION="" or ACTION="">     what do you think?       Stephen         From: Craft, Wesley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 July 2005 20:40 To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi scripts not running     This might be a shot in the dark, but in your first post you mention that you are running Bash scripts. Did you name those scripts with a .sh extension? If yes, you’ll need to include .sh in your ‘AddHandler’ line after the .cgi.   Wesley   -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Elmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 3:28 PM To: 'users@httpd.apache.org' Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi scripts not running   I cannot get my cgi scripts to run; the script is displayed in the web browser instead. I presume the problem is that the cgi directory is not recognised as a directory containing scripts.   I have checked  httpd.conf for:   ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/  “/var/www/cgi-bin/”   I do wonder if this line is being seen, unless I put the entire path in my script the file cannot be found.     I have also tried adding  AddHandler cgi-script  .cgi   and checked that an Option directive is included:   <Directory “/var/www/cgi-bin/”> Options ExecCGI   AllowOverride None Allow from all Order allow,deny   </Directory>     just to see if that would work, but it does not L     I’ve checked that the scripts are set as executable and are executable by others (i.e. everyone)     I’ve run apachectl configtest gives Syntax ok     What I’m I doing wrong, any suggestion would be most greatly appreciated!     I am using Fedora Core 3, Apache 2.0     Many thanks     Stephen       -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
