Getting CGI to work in apache

jon_k · 11-13-2004, 03:36 PM

I recently installed tdiary, and orginally http://192.168.0.4/blog/index.rb would show contents of the file.

I added the line AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .sh .pl .rb

to httpd.conf and now I get forbidden.

The files are chowned 755.

How can I get these to execute?

I'm also getting
[Sat Nov 13 14:53:39 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.2] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/blog/index.rb
[Sat Nov 13 14:53:39 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.2] File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico

in error.log

How can I get this to work,?

You do have Ruby installed on your server, correct?

Yes, I do.

Basic perl scripts don't work neither.

That says you have CGI disabled in that directory.

Check out this tutorial(docs come with apache) http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/cgi.html

Thank you!

I added this to my .conf in the <IfModule mod_alias.c> section.

<Directory /var/www>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>
