Running CGI files outside of CGI-BIN? - GoFuckYourself.com

Any special settings needed for this? Never had a problem before... now everything is a fucking Internal Server Error!

Your apache config files have to be setup properly for this to work ...

liquidmoe · 07-10-2003, 10:22 PM

Unless you have a directory diretive set for an upper level directory to do Options [+]ExecCGI you will need to set it for the specific directory in which you have the cgi files. You can also set it in your .htaccess file if you have it enabled for that directory.

Should work.

Your assuming his apache config files are setup to allow override directives.

[VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
ServerName www.yourdomain.com
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerAlias yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/yourdomain/web
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
[Directory /path/to/yourdomain]
Options +ExecCGI
[/Directory]
[/VirtualHost]

Change "[" and "]" to the proper brackets, which can't be posted on this board. < >

FUCK... I put the fucker in the fucking CGI fucking bin like it fucking wants to be... run the fucking init fine... but then the fucking setup and every fuckingthing else is fucking 500... I've never fucking had so many fucking problems in the 10 fucking years I've been fucking doing this!

Does anyone know where the errorlog is stored?

On a linux box,
pico /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

Smegma · 07-10-2003, 10:42 PM

add this line to your vhost directive.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/home/blah.com/cgi-bin

you can make the dir what ever you want.

Smegma · 07-10-2003, 10:45 PM

Should look something like this.

Code:

<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /usr/home/blah.com
ServerAlias blah.com *.blah.com
ServerName www.blah.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/blah.com/cgi-bin/
ErrorDocument 401 /401.html
ErrorDocument 402  /401.html
ErrorDocument 403  /401.html
ErrorDocument 404  /401.html
</VirtualHost>

FUUUUUCK... its' 400MB and just crashes my shit when I try to view it...

Smegma · 07-10-2003, 10:47 PM

type

tail -f /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

to see it in realtime

type

tail -1000 /etc/httpd/logs/error_log | more

to see the last most recent 1000 lines of the error log

Oh my...hahah...try vi, then. I don't use it so you will have to search for commands.

Or, delete error_log and restart apache and you will get an error log that is fresh

rm -Rf /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

then

apachectl graceful

Your error_log should be cleared, and apache restarted gracefully

Just did it on one of my servers and it worked fine.

Then pico /etc/httpd/logs/error_log

Nice clear log!

oki, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP EVERYONE! I'm going to go bang my fucking head against the wall... and try to figure this fucking thing out... and I'll be back...

If you have ServerSideInstructions or SSI

just type it in your html file

< !--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/index.cgi" -->

just delete the first space before "!"

and call it whatever.shtml

it will execute you cgi within any directory.
