I've been running this server on gentoo for about 5 years, mostly without touching it. So I was a bit surprised to find that it is unable to serve CGI scripts or programs. The one CGI script I have is low-use (read by a few other hex game hobbyists) so I don't know when this went sour, but suspect one of gentoo's updates did it sometime in the last few months.
The logs are not much help. The access log shows that the request got an error code, 64.166.164.49 - - [15/Feb/2009:15:46:32 -0800] "GET /hex-bin/board HTTP/1.1" 500 542 and all that the error log says is: [Sun Feb 15 15:46:32 2009] [error] [client 64.166.164.49] Premature end of script headers: board I put a simple C program in there to create a file in /tmp, and nothing happens. My httpd.conf has just one added line: Include /etc/apache2/kosmanor/hexDirs.conf And the CGI part of that config file is ScriptAlias /hex-bin /hex/bin <Directory /hex/bin> Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> So the question is: how can I debug this? Or does anyone have an inuition about what might be wrong? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
