I have a working install of ISPConfig3. It serves html and php without a problem but I'm trying to install a perl based site (Bugzilla). Bugzilla installs all of it's cgi files to the root of the target website (not cgi-bin). As far as I can tell bugzilla is setup correctly as it comes with a script that does most of it for you. I know the files are in the folder as if I type in <mydomain>.com/index.cgi I get a page of perl as text (rather than it being processes) so the site can find and serve the files it just not processing them. If I tick CGI on my site setup ISPConfig adds default settings to point to /cgi-bin/ but I need to set this up so that perl is interpreted at run time from the /web root directory. Has anyone any experience of this? I've tried modding the vhost file (I know you're not supposed to ) to see if I could work out the correct settings but to no avail.
Sorry I didn't realise I had a reply, I didn't get an email notification even though I've subscribed. <Directory /var/www/<domain>> AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </Directory> <VirtualHost <local ip>:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/<domain>/web ServerName <domain> ServerAdmin webmaster@<domain> ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/<domain>/error.log ErrorDocument 400 /error/400.html ErrorDocument 401 /error/401.html ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html ErrorDocument 405 /error/405.html ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html ErrorDocument 503 /error/503.html <Directory /var/www/<domain>/web> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ '.php[s3-6]{0,1}$'> Order allow,deny Deny from all Allow from none </Files> </Directory> <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ '.php[s3-6]{0,1}$'> Order allow,deny Deny from all Allow from none </Files> </Directory> # cgi enabled <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web25/cgi-bin> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/clients/client1/web25/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl </VirtualHost>
Can you add the following line right behind Code: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/clients/client1/web25/cgi-bin/ : Code: ScriptAlias / /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web/ Restart Apache afterwards. Does it work then?
I tried that and it didn't make a difference. I tried modifying the directory too to remove cgi-bin and still no luck.
If I type in the index file name 'index.cgi' (since it wont automatically serve that file) I get a 403 error, which looks like a permission problem but I don't know who or what permissions I'd need to set. Can anyone advise me?
attempt to invoke directory as script: /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web client denied by server configuration: /var/www/clients/client1/web25/weberror On reading this I added a '/' to the end of the ScriptAlias to see if that makes a difference but I still get: attempt to invoke directory as script: /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web/error/noindex.html so I added 'DirectoryIndex index.cgi' to see if that would make it server the cgi as the index file but I get the same error. I tried another example for the setup: <Directory /var/www/clients/client1/web25/web> AllowOverride All DirectoryIndex index.cgi AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl Options +ExecCGI </Directory> but this gives me: Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/<my domain>/web/ and displays the default Apache webpage you get after a new install.
Wahay it works A friend pointed out that I could add directives to the .htaccess file. After doing so it worked straight away. Thanks for your help, I learned stuff along the journey.
