[users@httpd] mod_userdir question

[Carlos Carcamo <ea...@gmail.com>]

Hello list, hope you're well!

I have a dummy question about apache and mod_userdir, I wonder if I
can have a website build with a language different to php on my user
directory (/home/my_user/public_html/) maybe something build with
python, node or another language and then accesing to it with
http://mysite/~my_user/, is this possible? or is a stupid question?

thanks in advance!

Thanks all for answer.

I have a website (http://cshluesocc.org) and is on /var/www/, is
hosted on a cloud vps, I have created some users for my friends on it
and I've enabled mod_userdir so they can use their public_html
directory.
They want try some tecnologies (maybe python, golang, node.js,
whatever) to build their own web projects on their user space
something like this http://cshluesocc.org/~oswaldo/, thats why i'm
asking about if they can use another language different to php in
order to achieve their goal.

Thanks for reply, I'll take a look to mod_cgi.

As Carlos's question suggests that he might be quite new to all this,
it's probably worth pointing out that for simple, low-volume
applications there is no requirement to load any language-specific
module into apache. All one needs is mod_cgi (or mod_cgid) to get
started and then it's pretty trivial to run scripts in any chosen
language supported by the O/S.

Of course, Daniel's advice to embed the interpreter through mod_lua (or
mod_python, mod_perl, mod_ruby, ...) is sound for larger,
single-language applications and there are alternatives like mod_fcgi
which can get close to the best of both worlds. But for someone
starting out and just looking at a proof of concept it is likely the
case that the simplicity of mod_cgi(d) would make the easiest starting
point.

I am not going into detail about where it is best to place your interpreted
files so, since httpd won't be the interpreter in any case, yes you can use
the language you want, python,lua or whatever you prefer, just make sure
you have the appropriate module loaded that can interpret the language you
will use, for example , lua is supported natively by mod_lua which is
included in httpd 2.4.x
