[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.43 vs CGI
Hello,
We have upgraded Apache from 1.3 to 2.0.43 and now experience such a
problem: when submitting parameters via / (for example,
http://www.mydomain.com/?asd=dsa) we have 403 error and error_log says
"Attempt to invoke directory as script". Please, advise.
Exerpt from httpd.conf:
...
<VirtualHost www.mydomain.com:80>
ServerAdmin hostmaster@www.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /home/www/www.mydomain.com/htdocs
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/
ServerName www.mydomain.com
Alias /images/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/images/
Alias /pictures/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/upload/
Alias /errors/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/errors/
Alias /catalog/ /home/www/www.mydomain.com/catalog/
ErrorLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/access_log combined
ScriptLog /home/www/www.mydomain.com/logs/script_log
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.html
</VirtualHost>
<Directory /home/www/www.mydomain.com/htdocs>
Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
SetHandler cgi-script
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
</Directory>
...
Thank you very much in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, I'm not so certain of that myself, that sort of thing works fine with
PHP on Apache 2, not sure if mod_cgi works in a different way, I do know
that it's changed significantly since Apache 1.3, maybe one of the
developers could shed some light on this?

The problem here is your HTML. It's not calling a script. If you can
pass parameters, you can pass the script name.
Isn't putting an executable in a browseable directory kinda dangerous?

Hmm, weird, I've had no problems with the default install settings in both
1.3 and 2.0.
Try this:
telnet yoursite 80
HEAD /images/yourpng.png HTTP/1.0
[enter][enter]
You should see something like:
[jcoby@theserver]$ telnet theserver 80
Trying 123.123.123.123...
Connected to theserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD /images/search.png HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

That Content-Type is an authorative description of what kind of data its

Content-Type with MIME types. If you /do/ see image/png, your browser is
borked or broken.

Can't say I've ever had a problem serving PNGs without resorting to changing
the default config though, what version of Apache are you running?

[users@httpd] PNG / Apache question...
Posted by Bruce Douglas <be...@earthlink.net>.
Hi...
Curious.. I have a graphics file. It's in the PNG format. How do I serve the
file using Apache such that it is displayed properly using a netscape/ie
browser.....
Out of curiousity, I tried to simply "look" at the file using a regular
browser... it didn't work!!
With a regular .bmp/gif there's no issue. Is there some attribute within the
Apache Server that does an on the fly convert....
Any help/assistance would be helpful!!
thanks
