Apache / CGI --setup

[Neorion]

Hi,

i recently compiled apache 2 to /usr/bin/apache2/

i type /usr/bin/apache2/bin/apachectl start

``````````````````

httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

[sat Apr 03 02:35:16 2004] [error] (13)Permission denied: could not open transfer log file /usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log.

Unable to open logs

[neorion@localhost neorion]$

`````````````````````

thats what i get

I can go to 127.0.0.1 and see apache page but how can i set this up so i can have something looking like in a url bar ; xx.xxx.xx.xx/cgi-bin/myperl.cgi

and see myperl.cgi ???

 

Help or alternate options will be greatly appreciated.

You need to set your hostname in /etc/sysconfig/network.

 

HOSTNAME=your_hostname.ld

 

If you use DHCP also add

 

DHCP_HOSTNAME=your_hostname.ld

 

You also need to put your machines IP address in /etc/hosts along with your host name.

 

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx your_hostname.ld your_hostname

 

The access_log thing is probably permissions and ownership problem. On my machine the /var/log/httpd directory is drwxr-xr-x root root and the access_log is -rw-r----- root root

 

If you have mandrake, I would suggest installing Apache2 and perl related stuff with the from the CD and it will work.

What exactly do you mean by "your_hostname.ld" my IP address ?

Yeah I got an idea... you need to do exactly what I told the other guy to do... make up a hostname and put it in the 2 files as described above. :P

 

I don't know nothin' about mod_rewrite except it looks like in your error message it can't create a file lock for some reason... probably due to directory or file permissions not allowing it to..?

Hello Dr. Ephemeron,

 

I updated the two files per your instructions but httpd2 still failed on reboot. In the error_log file I still get " [crit] (38)Function not implemented: mod_rewrite: could not create rewrite_log_lock. Configuration Failed."

Do you think this may have to do with kernel ( 2.6.3-7mdk)I am using. What is the process to go back to 2.4.25-2mdk?

 

 

Thanks

I never said it would make apache start... it just gets rid of the resolve hostname error message. The other problem, I have no idea. sorry

 

I haved used 2.6.3-7, 2.6.3-13 on mdk 10 o.e. and apache2 works fine. Did you remove and reinstall apache2?
