Installation / Configuration Questions
Greetings,
I realize that this might be a newbie/already answered question, but I've
looked all over and can't seem to find anything that will help. So here
goes:
I am trying to install an apache 1.3.29 server with mod_perl 1.29. I've
configured and tested both, and all seem to be working as expected.
1) /usr/local/src/new-install/mod_perl-1.29/make test
passes all tests but one. ie) 1/39
2)
[root@leviathan logs]# apachectl restart
/www/bin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted
[root@leviathan logs]# tail -f error_log
[Tue Mar 16 18:03:05 2004] [notice] / (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 mod_ssl/2.8.16
OpenSSL/0.9.7c PHP/4.3.4 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Mar 16 18:03:05 2004] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem
This tells me that mod_perl has been installed properly.
3) my http is as normal:
Alias /perl/ /www/mod_perl/
<Location /perl/>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Registry
Options +ExecCGI
#PerlSendHeader On
#allow from all
</Location>
4) My mod_perl directory has permissions that should allow a browser to
read/execute from it:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 11 13:10 mod_perl/
5) my script works in the mod_perl directory
!/usr/bin/perl
print("content-type: text/html\n\n");
print("<H1><Center>Hello World</CENTER><h1>\n");
6) with appropriate permissions:
rwx------ 1 nobody nogroup 103 Mar 16 18:07 test.pl*
Now, with this configuration, I would expect a browser attempting to access
localhost/perl/test.pl to get a page with Hello World string centered in h1
font.
Instead: You don't have permission to access /perl/test.pl on this server.
access_log says:
127.0.0.1 - - [16/Mar/2004:18:10:47 -0500] "GET /perl/test.pl HTTP/1.0" 403
303
error_log says: [Tue Mar 16 18:10:47 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client
denied by server configuration: /www/mod_perl/test.pl
what am I doing wrong? Any ideas are appreciated. Please CC my email addy
too: mailto://egomaniac1992@hotmail.com

Hello,
the # is missing on the shebang line,
is this a copy/paste error ?

You should su to the user that you run apache as (probably "nobody") and
see if it will let you execute that script. Remember that the whole
path counts, so if the /www directory in /www/mod_perl/test.pl is not
set up correctly, it won't matter how the permissions on your script are
set.

Well you didn't search the list archives very thoroughly... :)
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=114129;search_string=total%20newbie%20question;guest=2622237&t=search_engine#114129
And you didn't read the documentation about reporting problems:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/help.html#How_to_Report_Problems
I make that 9,213 including the list signatures. :)

Not sure what 'normal' is. You mean you're using Apache::Registry normally?

What about the directories above it?

That script has a serious error. I'll leave you to find it.
Did you type it in by hand (never do that) or did you grab it
using copy/paste or an editor (always do that).

If that script ever can be run, and if the user 'nobody' can change
that script, then you can expect that user to have rooted your server.
Do please read up on security in Apache and mod_perl. Make scripts
writeable only by root and readable/executable by the Apache uid/gid.
You haven't given the bits of httpd.conf which tell us what user and
group are used for the Apache children so I don't know if 'nobody' and
'nogroup' are right.

Ged.
