suEXEC: cannot get docroot information
Hi.
I'm trying to configure suEXEC to allow run "safe" CGI to virtualhost.
Here it's my ./configure for apache-1.3.22:
--enable-suexec --suexec-caller=nobody --suexec-docroot=/web/htdocs
--suexec-logfile=/web/logs/suexec.log --suexec-userdir=home
--suexec-uidmin=100 --suexec-gidmin=100
(i've tryied even with --suexec-userdir=/web/htdocs/home)
and here it's my VirtualHost section of httpd.conf:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
User test
Group test
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot /web/htdocs/home/pippo/html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/htdocs/home/pippo/cgi-bin/"
ServerName www.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
User test
Group test
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot /web/htdocs/home/pippo2/html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/htdocs/home/pippo2/cgi-bin/"
ServerName www.example2.com
</VirtualHost>
I would like that a CGI run by www.example2.com cannot read the documents of
www.example.com but i can't define a different user for every virtualhost
(because this is a test, i will run vhost_alias at the end).
The permission of /web/htdocs/home (where all virtualhost reside) are:
bash# ls -al /web/htdocs/home/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 13 12:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 May 13 12:56 ..
drwxrwx--- 16 nobody nobody 4096 May 14 09:31 pippo
drwxrwx--- 4 nobody nobody 4096 May 14 09:31 pippo2
bash#
So apache can access it but "test" user can't (i made this to make it
unaccessible to other domains).
Now if i try to execute a CGI of www.example2.com i get error 500 and this
entry in suexec.log:
emerg: cannot get docroot information (/web/htdocs)
If i do a
# chmod 555 /web/htdocs/home/pippo2
The cgi is executed correctly but other domains can see my (www.example2.com)
documents!
So what can i do to make users execute their CGI normally but without the
permission to read other user's documents?
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Regards.
