[users@httpd] CGI problem with mod_userdir
Hello,
I'm using httpd-2.0.40-11 I'm using mod_userdir to configure user
public_html directories. The problem I'm running into is trying to allow
the execution of CGI scripts in those directories. A VERY simple script
which works in the normal web root does not work in the user's directory
even though I have ExecCGI enabled for both. All I get in my server logs
is "Premature end of script headers" which usually implies an error
running the script. However, I know the script works because I can move
it elsewhere and it executes fine.
Here's a sample from my httpd.conf:
-------------------------------------
<Location />
Options ExecCGI
</Location>
UserDir public_html
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
---------------------------------------
I can change my <Location> tags to <Directory> tags and vice-versa
(changing the paths too) and the results are the same... it works for
"/" but not "/home/*/public_html".
Here's my CGI script:
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "Script testing!";
------------------------------------------
And here's the error from my error log when it fails:
------------------------------------------------------
[Wed Jan 29 14:17:32 2003] [error] [client 63.168.208.34] Premature end
of script headers: test.cgi
------------------------------------------------------
I've checked permissions, execute bit, etc. and it all seems to be set
okay. It's just a matter of the file being in /home/*/public_html (and
served through mod_userdir) vs. /var/www/blahblah. Is this a mod_userdir
issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-shawn

Yes, there is the error log options, try changing your httpd.conf file line
from LogLevel warn to LogLevel debug.

It makes cgi script run under a different userid than the main apache
binary. It is useful for isolating cgi scripts from the server and from
each other. It is especially useful on systems where multiple (perhaps
less-than trusted) users run cgi scripts, but it can also enhance security
on one-user systems by making sure that cgi scripts can't do things under
the webserver userid.

Hi,
suexec is very useful, because it allows you to run cgi processes under the username belonging to a virtual host. Else all scripts have to run under the servers user name, which might be nobody or www or apache or something else and all scripts on the whole server are executed under the same user name.
According to your suexec output you posted before suexec would not execute in a user directory, it will only execute files placed in the directory tree under /var/www.
You should also have a file suexec.log in /var/log/httpd, which is the suexec log.
If you compiled yourself an apache server you could compile suexec with an user directory, but this was not done with the server you are using.

THANK YOU!!!
I can't believe it was something so incredibly simple (I knew it had to
be something stupid). So, if you don't mind my asking, what is the
purpose of suexec if Apache doesn't need it? I'm guessing it must have
some good use and perhaps I just don't have it configured properly.
Thanks,

Try again. Sorry, but the fact that you were running suexec but didn't
know it, combined with the fact that the cgi script worked when not going
through mod_userdir, makes me lay about 98% odds that it is an suexec
problem.
Make absolutely sure that apache is not using suexec (rename it, delete
it, whatever), make sure you restart your server, make sure the script
still works when not run through mod_userdir, then try again.

Okay thanks for the info. My output from "suexec -V" looked like this:
-D AP_DOC_ROOT="/var/www"
-D AP_GID_MIN=500
-D AP_HTTPD_USER="apache"
-D AP_LOG_EXEC="/var/log/httpd/suexec.log"
-D AP_SAFE_PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
-D AP_UID_MIN=500
-D AP_USERDIR_SUFFIX="public_html"
There was no suexec.log at that location, so I'm guessing it wasn't
using it? Anyways... I did a "chmod -x" to clear the execute bits for
suexec, but unfortunately that did not solve my problem :(.
Any other suggestions?

It probably is the issue. mod_userdir has special hooks to suexec.
The suexec log is usually kept with your other apache logs. You should be
able to execute "suexec -V" to see suexec's settings. You can also try
simply doing "chmod -x suexec" to assure that Apache can't launch it and
then restarting apache.

Where would the suexec log be kept? This may not be the issue though,
since the script _will_ run in the user directory, just not when served
through mod_userdir.

I haven't read the whole thread, but have you checked to see if you are
using suexec? Have you checked the suexec log? That is the most common
explanation of cgi scripts that work in cgi-bin but not in user
directories.

Re: [users@httpd] CGI problem with mod_userdir
Posted by Shawn Wilson <sh...@atmreports.com>.
Yes that's right... so in my example I am using:
http://www.my.domain/~lannocc/test.cgi
In my two configuration examples, I used an Alias directive so that my
physical location is the same, and even the URL is the same. It simply
seems to be a matter of telling Apache to use mod_userdir to serve that
particular location causes CGI's to fail. Also, I tested this with both
a Perl script and a compiled C script... same results.
This is really starting to bug me... I will have to move back to Apache
1.3 if I don't get this resolved soon :(.

Re: [users@httpd] CGI problem with mod_userdir
Posted by Shawn Wilson <sh...@atmreports.com>.
Thanks I didn't think of that... but no it still doesn't work.
Is this an issue with mod_userdir in Apache 2.0 or a stupid
configuration problem on my part? It all worked fine back in 1.3.

Instead of doing:
UserDir public_html
Try doing:
UserDir /home/*/public_html
That should work.
All the best,

Re: [users@httpd] CGI problem with mod_userdir
Posted by Shawn Wilson <sh...@atmreports.com>.
Okay, after some further testing I have a very simple test that I wonder
if others can verify the same results or could detail why this occurs.
So... I have a file /home/lannocc/public_html/test.cgi that executes
just fine. Modifying ONLY my httpd.conf I can do the following which WORKS:
--- Begin working config ---
UserDir disable
Alias /~lannocc /home/lannocc/public_html
<Directory /home/lannocc/public_html>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
--- End working config ---
The script works fine.
But... if I simply change the UserDir directive and remove the Alias
definition it no longer works:
--- Begin bad config ---
UserDir public_html
<Directory /home/lannocc/public_html>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
--- End bad config ---
Now I get the Server Error 500 - Premature end of script headers... blah
blah blah. I know the UserDir is working because I can access other
non-cgi files just fine.
PLEASE - tell me I'm just doing something stupid... I can't figure out
why this doesn't work!
Thanks,
-shawn
