[users@httpd] How to setup new directories for perl scripts?
I am running V2.0.48 on windows 2003 Server. I am using virtual hosts and
have successfully created some virtual hosts that allow my customers access
to static pages. For each virtual host, I have created a document root
directory to contain static pages.
Could someone kindly point me to the documentation that explains how to
create cgi-bin (script) directories for each of these virtual hosts so I can
add scripts too?
Also: I already have a single cgi-bin directory that was created by the
initial installation. This working. However, I tried to create a single
sub-directory in that original cgi-bin directory and place a script in
there. The web server won't execute it. I tried chmod but that did not help.
How can I execute scripts stored in subdirectories?
Thanks,
Siegfried

The CustomLog and ErrorLog commands are entries that you would place
in your apache2.conf file, not applications that you run from the
command line. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html
Sorry, I don't know about 1 or 3.

2 has been answered.
The answer to 1 is that rotatelogs is httpd-specific. It is used only
as a piped-logging program that accepts log entries on standard input.
It is not called from the command line. It could be used for other
programs that have the capability of logging through a pipe to a
program, but I don't believe that is common.

Posted by siegfried <si...@heintze.com>.
I've been studying http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/rotatelogs.html
and feel quite confused.
I'm running windows server XP 2003.
(1) Is rotate logs exclusively for httpd or can I use it for my
cygwin/cron/perl jobs that run nightly and generate large log files?
(2) In the documentation they say "CustomLog" and "ErrorLog". Are these
commands I type in at the cygwin/bash command prompt? I get errors when I
do. I don't see any such programs in /program files/apache
group/apache2/bin.
(3) Assuming the answer to #1 is that I can use it for my perl/cron jobs:
how would I rotate my log files every 48 hours? Would I create a cron job to
run once a day to run rotatelogs?
Thanks,
Siegfried

You should probably upgrade.

This depends on exactly what you want. One method is simply to include a
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /full/path/to/vhost/cgi-bin
in each <VirtualHost> section. This will override the main cgi-bin.
Some other possibilities are discussed here:

Indeed scripts in subdirectories should be executed by default when
using ScriptAlias. Why don't you tell us what you got in the error
log when you tried to execute the script.
