problems with perl.. (solved by Steve)


Recommended Posts

This has been SOLVED with Steve Scrimpshire's help!

Thanks dude!!!

 

Hello, and thanks for looking at my post.

 

I am having a lot of problems running perl scripts on my server.

 

my installation is:

"Mandrakelinux-10.1-Community"

 

All my software came installed by default from the mandrake cds. All i did was check the box for webserver.

Everything is working fine on my server. I got 3 websites with their own domain names on the same server through VirtualHosts. I have php, mysql, and a whole bunch of useful things working. I got no complains there, mandrake linux is awsome.

 

My problem is that I cant get perl scripts working.

I made a "cgi-bin" folder in one of my site's root dir. I put my "FormMail.pl" script in there. When I try to use it, i get asked if i want to download "formmail.pl"

 

So I tried renaming the script to "FormMail.cgi", and i get this:

"NOT FOUND

The requested URL /cgi-bin/formmail.cgi was not found on this server."

 

 

 

 

I try creating a folder called "perl" and put my script there, rename it to "FormMail.pl", and......same problem.

 

One strange thing tho:

There is a "cgi-bin" folder in "/var/www/"

In that folder i found "test.cgi"

So i got that file and moved it to the cgibin folder of my site:

"/var/www/html/mysite1/cgi-bin"

I then went to "www.mysite1.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi" and....That script worked.

 

There was also another folder "/var/www/perl/". In that folder i found "test.pl".

I moved that script to "/var/www/html/mysite1/perl/" then i go to "www.mysite1.com/perl/test.pl" and it asks me if i want to download "test.pl" :wall:

 

Btw, i did set the chmod on my script to 755, i even tried 777, but still no good results.

 

So I am really stuck here. I got most of my help to get my server started from google, But google is not being so helpful on this problem. I did get help here with virtualhosts, so I am hoping someone can help me out again with this new problem.

 

Thank you all who take the time to read this...

In your commonhttpd.conf file, around line 530, add:

 

AddHandler cgi-script .pl

 

You may also have to add:

 

ExecCGI to your directories directives like this:

 

#Restricted set of options

<Directory />

Options -All -Multiviews ExecCGI

AllowOverride None

<IfModule mod_access.c>

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

</IfModule>

</Directory>

 

You can do so only in /var/www/html/*/cgi-bin/ if you want to restrict cgi scripts to there.

ExecCGI to your directories directives like this:

 

#Restricted set of options

<Directory />

  Options -All -Multiviews ExecCGI

  AllowOverride None

  <IfModule mod_access.c>

    Order deny,allow

    Deny from all

  </IfModule>

</Directory>

Thanks for your Reply. Will doing the above, allow me to run the perl scripts in "/var/www/html/mysite1/cgi-bin/ or /perl/" ? and how can I apply this to multiple directories, since i have more than one site.

 

Thanks.

The wildcard -> * matches anything. Browse through the comments in the config for what the other directives do...that's what I have to do...lol.

Steve, thank you for your help and patience.

 

I tried what you said, I even googled with the info you gave me to find more help.

i did find this:

http://lists.ethernal.org/cantlug-0203/msg00003.html

http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~radionet/2003_...ain/text54.html

 

I noticed they mention something about scriptalias, do I have to change that to

/var/www/html/*/cgi-bin/" too?

 

One problem is solved, it wont ask me if i want to download the ".pl" scripts anymore. It also wont give me the "404 url not found error anymore.

This time it just says:

"FORBIDDEN

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/FormMail.pl on this server"

 

So as you can see i am still stuck. :wall:

 

Could you please take a look at my commonhttpd.conf file and modify what is needed so I can execute perl scripts (.cgi,.pl) in

/var/www/html/mysite1/cgi-bin/

/var/www/html/mysite2/cgi-bin/

/var/www/html/mysite3/cgi-bin/

 

This is my commonhttpd.conf file before i changed anything:

### Common server configuration

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be

# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).

# The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
# Web clients.  Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
# information, access is disallowed for security reasons.  Comment
# these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of

# servers not to cache the document. Uncommenting the following line disables
# this behavior, and proxies will be allowed to cache the documents.
#
#CacheNegotiatedDocs

#
# UseCanonicalName:  (new for 1.3)  With this setting turned on, whenever
# Apache needs to construct a self-referencing URL (a URL that refers back
# to the server the response is coming from) it will use ServerName and
# Port to form a "canonical" name.  With this setting off, Apache will
# use the hostname:port that the client supplied, when possible.  This
# also affects SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGI scripts.

# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is

# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain

#
# The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the
# contents of the file itself to determine its type.  The MIMEMagicFile
# directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.
# mod_mime_magic is not part of the default server (you have to add
# it yourself with a LoadModule [see the DSO paragraph in the 'Global
# Environment' section], or recompile the server and include mod_mime_magic
# as part of the configuration), so it's enclosed in an <IfModule> container.

# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses

# EnableMMAP: Control whether memory-mapping is used to deliver

Sorry that i took long to the reply. I had to go out, and I just got back and tried your suggestion.

 

I added your content to the end of my "commonhttpd.conf" file, and then did a "service httpd restart".

 

Went to "www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" and i get:

"NOT FOUND

The requested URL /cgi-bin/FormMail.pl was not found on this server."

:(

 

Was i suposed to replace something with your content, or was i suposed to just add that in to the end of my "commonhttpd.conf" file?

 

also, in this site:

http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~radionet/2003_...ain/text54.html

it says to use a .htpaccess file.

Would that be any help here?

 

Thank you for your help and patience...

Not really. An .htaccess file is just another way to do it when you don't have access to the actual apache config files. Plus, that site is poorly written :P.

 

Anyway, try commenting this out:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

 

by adding a # in front of it like this:

#ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/

 

Then restart apache.
