[users@httpd] perl-cgi won't work with apache2
Hi guys,
As I wrote about before, in a thread with this subject:
Bug in apache (was: upgrading to apache2 madeperl-cgi not work :()
my perl cgi-scripts won't work, after I upgraded to apache2 - apache
just outputs the source of the scripts :(
As I haven't changed anything (!) I can't see anything but this must be
a bug in apache2 somehow? or perhaps the config directives has changed
in some way? p.s. I did only copy the vhost config over - the rest is
what came with Gentoo-Linux and apache-2.0.46.
How can I debug this?
the virtualhost running it looks like this:
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
ServerName sql-leger.domain.dk
DocumentRoot /usr/local/sql-ledger/
#DirectoryIndex index.html
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
#ScriptAlias /sql-ledger/ /usr/local/sql-ledger/
Alias /sql-ledger/ /usr/local/sql-ledger/
<Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger>
Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/sql-ledger/users>
Options None
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

They are.

No, at least not so far. If Apache tries to execute a cgi with incorrent
permissions, it will throw a 500 (Internal Server Error), which isn't the
case here.
To the OP:
You need to heed the advice to simplify your configuration. The best way is
to use a vanilla configuaration with *minimal* changes to make it work on
your machine. Then, follow like a zombie the directives given here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/cgi.html
When you made that work, you should either have figured out what was wrong
with your old configuration or be able to adjust the new configuration to
mirror the old one while making sure it works after each step. If you have
any problems while doing this, the list will be happy to help if you provide
all necessary information about the changes you made and extracts from the
error log.

Robert Andersson

I'm using cgi/perl from Apache 2.0.35, and never had much problems.
Especially not the last few versions, though there are still some issue's.
I've set it up like this:
<Directory "/usr/local/www/*/cgi-bin">
<LimitExcept GET HEAD POST>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
<Files ~ "\.cgi$">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/domain.com/docs
ServerName domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/www/domain.com/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAliasMatch /(.*)\.cgi$ /usr/local/www/domain.com/cgi-bin/$1.cgi
DefaultLanguage nl
</VirtualHost>
I don't have anything like AddHandler cgi-script .pl or Options +ExecCGI,
perhaps you should try without those. Also, those ScriptAlias's are quite
important. Isn't there anyting usefull in the errorlogs?
Kind Regards,
Sander Holthaus

Seems like I remember reading some posts somewhere that permissions wer
pretty important in cgi script excecution. Could this be at least port
of the problem.

Tried this script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
print "<html><body>Hello World</body></html>";
It works as expected in shell - I also tried putting it under another
vhost - no change, still just shows the source of the script.
what info can I contribute with? What can/should I test?
The server is running php scripts just fine in the directories I tried
this in, and it is running my own site too.

Klavs,
There is one thing you didn't mention in your problem description:
- where exactly is the script your calling (full path to it).
As for debugging, I'd start to simplify configuration until it works and
then complicate it back.
Try for example a simple perl "Hello world" script, in a simple dir (created
specially for testing), in the main apache server config, no aliases, no
nothing, only the AddHandler, as plain as possible.
Bests,
Lian
