[users@httpd] cgi-bin stopped working in apache ?! please help
This is really baffling because CGI was working last week and now when
I try it again and it is not working.
All I did was add a name based virtual host in
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and /etc/apache2/sites-available/
I am running apache2-mpm-prefork version 2.2.9-7 on Debian lenny/sid.
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ has darcs.cgi, darcsweb.cgi and awstats.pl
Previously to access one of these I would do:
http://www.jesujuva.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi
But now when I do that I get this file not found error:
404 Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at
www.jesujuva.org Port 80
It is clearly there so why is it saying not found? Argh this is so frustrating.
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default has:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
/etc/apach2/mods-enabled/cgi.load has:
LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so
ls shows this module exists:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20256 2008-08-08 13:39
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so
/etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.conf has:
# Socket for cgid communication
ScriptSock /var/run/apache2/cgisock
/etc/apache2/conf.d/darcsweb.conf has:
Alias /darcs /var/www/darcs
Alias /darcsweb /usr/share/darcsweb
<Directory "/usr/share/darcsweb">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
RedirectMatch ^/darcsweb$ /cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi
</Directory>
I don't see why it worked last week and now it doesn't. I didn't
upgrade apache2, I didn't edit any of the config files except adding a
named based virtual host which I did by creating
/etc/apache2/sites-available/darcs which has:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName darcs.jesujuva.org
ServerAlias jesujuva.org www.jesujuva.org darcs.jesujuva.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/darcs
</VirtualHost>
And creating a symlink to that named darcs in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
So why is CGI not working and how can I fix it?
I get the same "404 Not Found" error if I try other programs in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin such as darcs.cgi or awstats.pl

Just a guess :
1) the new entry you have added to /etc/apache2/sites-available (and
sites-enabled) is called e.g. "darcs", which for some reason precedes
"default" in the directory.
2) in the apache.conf, there is something like
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/*
3) so now, when Apache starts, it "includes" the configuration of your
new Virtual Host *before* it includes the "default" Virtual Host.
4) as a result, the default virtual host is no longer "default", but
"darcs", and nothing works anymore like before.
(It is the new default because it is now the first defined virtual host
in your setup)
Check :
rename /etc/apache2/sites-available/darcs to
/etc/apache2/sites-available/xxx (and the same for sites-enabled), and
restart Apache. Does it work again ?
Am I close ?
