[users@httpd] Problems with cgi scripts
Hi,
I'm in the process of moving our web server from old hardware to
new. Same OS - RHEL4 -U1-ES. Same version of Apache -
v2.0.52. Everything works on the old server, but not the
new. Selinux has been disabled on both machines, and the directories
and partitions are virtually identical, except for the
size. Permissions on all directories, as well as the user and group
are identical on each machine. The conf files, both httpd.conf and
ssl.conf are identical. CGI scripts are all written in perl, perl is
located at /usr/bin/perl, and #!/usr/bin/perl line is in each
script. When I try to execute one of the cgi scripts, I get a
"Forbidden You don't have permission to access the
/cgi-bin/<whatever>.cgi on this server." Where else can I look to
fix this problem? I've scoured the archives, and all the fixes point
to either selinux, or file permissions.
Thanks,
Mark

I did check the error log, and the error log had thus to say:
Permission denied: access to /cgi-bin/<whatever>.cgi (or .pl) denied,
referer https://mywebserver.com/. I wouldn't have posted to the list
otherwise.

No, actually, all the faqs tell you to start by checking the error log.

If the web directories are a tarballed copy then the problem must lay
with either the OS or the Apache install. If you have checked all the
permissions etc., the only other thing I can think of is to check that
mod_cgi is installed correctly on both machines -- maybe kind of obvious
but that's my last guess.

Mick,
Thanks, but that didn't fix it either. What I don't
understand, I tarballed all the web directories from the original
machine, moved them to the new machine, untarred, and started the
server. Other than new hardware, the machines are identical.

Hi Mark,
Seems SuExec is one possibility. More info at:
