[users@httpd] simple newbie
hi guys,
a total newbie question.
i have created a cgi script 'index.cgi' in /var/www:
root@duo:/var/www# ls -l
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 69 2011-01-13 23:09 index.cgi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 177 2011-01-13 22:31 index.html
and i've created a .htaccess:
root@duo:/var/www# cat .htaccess
Options +ExecCGI
then i remove index.html and run:
root@duo:/var/www# wget localhost && cat index.html
--2011-01-13 23:14:51-- http://localhost/
Resolving localhost... ::1, 127.0.0.1

#!/bin/bash

note that apache has given me the contents of index.cgi,
not the result of running it:
root@duo:/var/www# ./index.cgi
Content-type: text/html
hi there from cgi
here's my (unchanged since install) config:
root@duo:/var/www# cat /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as
a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default'
server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so
"/var/log/apache2/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the
# server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".
#
### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
# at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
# Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

You probably have a <Directory /var/www> block somewhere else (probably in
a file in the sites_enabled dir) which overrides this block.

no, not really...
so i tried adding:
<Directory /var/www>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>
to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
and
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
then when
wget localhost
--2011-01-14 01:32:09-- http://localhost/
Resolving localhost... ::1, 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost|::1|:80... failed: Connection refused.
Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2011-01-14 01:32:09 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
and the log says:
[Fri Jan 14 01:32:54 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.3] Options
ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/index.cgi
thank you for your patience,
jack.

- Is there a special reason why you want to use .htaccess instead of
adding the directive to the central configuration?
- Do you have the proper AllowOverride?

thanks for your reply.
i added
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
to my .htaccess file, but httpd still returns
the contents of index.cgi (not the result)
