    Hello, Running ISPCONFIG3 on 64 bit centos 5.8 Final

    Having problems configuring my system to list directories in

    Code:
    "/var/www/mydomain.com/web/files/"
    and running cgi in
    Code:
    /var/www/mydomain.com/web/files/cgi/
    I check /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/mysite.com.vhost and noticed several of similar listings for the directory like:

    Code:
         <Directory /var/www/mydomain.com/web>
            AddHandler fcgid-script .php .php3 .php4 .php5
            FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web1/.php-fcgi-starter .php
            Options +ExecCGI
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
            <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web>
            AddHandler fcgid-script .php .php3 .php4 .php5
            FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web1/.php-fcgi-starter .php
            Options +ExecCGI
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    
    
    
    <Directory /var/www/mydomain.com/web>
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    
            # ssi enabled
            AddType text/html .shtml
            AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
            Options +Includes
     </Directory>
     <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web>
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    
            # ssi enabled
            AddType text/html .shtml
            AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
            Options +Includes
     </Directory>
    
    
     <Directory /var/www/mydomain.com/web>
            AddHandler fcgid-script .php .php3 .php4 .php5
            FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web1/.php-fcgi-starter .php
            Options +ExecCGI
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny

    A few questions:

    First: Does one entry with the same path just keep over writing the other?

    Second: Can I back this file up and regenerate a default file without blowing away the domain & web files etc.

    Third: Is it safe to edit directly (with a backup of course)?

    Fourth: Will anything overwrite this file automatically in the future (updates)?


    Tried apache directives from the ISPCONFIG console and no luck. Also, tried apache directives for a different domain to try to +Indexes etc. and no luck. In fact on the other domain after /etc/init.d/httpd restart I don't even see the updates in the .vhost file.

    Also, just wanted to mention that NO I don't have any .htaccess file in these directories.

    I do however have Joomla installed. Not sure if that is a deal breaker or need to chmod special permissions.




    Here is the entire .vhost file for the domain in question below:

    You must place CGI files in the cgi-bin directory.

    Same directives will overwrite each other, the rest justs adds up.

    ISPConfig will overwrite your changes if you edot the file directly, therefore you should use the Apache Directives field. You can also define a custom vhost template by copying /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master to the /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/ directory. You can then modify /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/vhost.conf.master to your needs, and ISPConfig will use that one instead of /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/vhost.conf.master.

    Hello Falko,

    When you say place cgi files in the cgi-bin directory. Does it make a difference that it is actually named cgi-bin? I mean I know that is traditional or whatever but as long as there is +ExecCGI and AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
    AddHandler cgi-script .pl it cgi files should be able to go anywhere no?

    Or are you saying that .cgi files cannot be run on the virtual host and need to be in the main /cgi-bin/directory of the host that handles all the virtual domains?

    Part of the problem is that I can't even do a directory listing like I use to be able to do in non-cgi directories on ISPCONFIG2. Like when I would:

    Code:
    http://www.mydomain.com/files/
    I would see:

    Code:
    file1
    file2
    file3
    Now all I get is an error.

    The only way I can see a file is if I actually know what it is like:

    Code:
    http://www.mydomain.com/files/file1
    I cannot do a directory listing even with Options +Indexex. I figured that this is one and the same problem why I can't use my cgi files.

    Do apache directives take precedence over the .vhost files or rather is there anything in the .vhost files that would overwrite apache directives preventing me from running cgi and listing directories?

    Below are my apache directives that I have been trying with no luck:

    Code:
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/cgi/
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
    Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI 
    </Directory>
    I used this with and without a + on Indexes and no luck

    After changes I would:

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/httpd restart
    and wait a few secs for changes to take effect.

    Am I doing something wrong?


    Thanks for advice about where to keep files and overwrites. Now I know how to handle that once I get directory listings and cgi working right.


    Thanks,

    By default cgi files work only in the main /cgi-bin directory. But of course you can define your own location for CGI scripts with the Apache Directives.
