Options ExecCGI Includes

[pilpelet]

Hello ,

I need to configure a site with cgi scripts that need to run outside
cgi-bin directory and try few things but none work

I tried to ajust httpd.conf from direct admin and to add :

<Directory /home/domainname/domains/domain.com/public_html>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

But it didnt work ,

Anyone knows What is the right format to achive this ?

Thanks in advance ,

Hello,

You're on the right track...

Admin Panel -> Admin Settings -> custom httpd.conf -> domain.com

in the textarea, add:

<Directory |DOCROOT|>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>and click "Save". You may have already done this, but it will require upto one minute for apache to reload, so be patient :)

Hi john ,

Thanks it didnt work due to the reload .

Will the config will be overwritten on user ajusting ?

Thanks again .

Hello,

The setting will stick with user adjusting. It will also be used if that user creates and subdomains etc.. it carries over the entire domain.

It works!

Just one thing... because the original post and reply was old. The place where you can find the custom httpd.conf file is changed to:

Admin Panel -> Custom HTTPD Configurations -> domain.com

Is in DA someting like Custom VirtualHost but for all domains in one time?

[DirectAdmin Support]

You'd want the virtualhost templates to do all domains:

tried the htaccess file and it did ntot work

here is the error from the suexec_log

[2006-10-22 08:37:31]: info: (target/actual) uid: (admin/admin) gid: (admin/admin) cmd: test.cgi
[2006-10-22 08:37:31]: error: target uid/gid (1007/1007) mismatch with directory (1007/1004) or program (1007/1004)

in the /search folder i have an .htaccess file

contnets:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

in my custom hpptd.config:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
ScriptAlias /cgibin/ /home/admin/domains/mysite.net/public_html/cgibin/

<Directory /home/admin/domains/mysite.net/public_html/search/>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

<Directory |DOCROOT|>
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>


my test.cgi file:
#!/usr/bin/perl

#output html
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<h1>hello world!</h1>";

this test.cgi file works fine in the cgi-bin w/o error..


i'm at a complete loss here...

Hello
try this if you have safe_mode on, and cgi allowed

Httpd.conf Customization

php_admin_value safe_mode_exec_dir /home/your_admin/domains/your_domain.tld/public_html/cgi-bin/


cgi scripts chmod 0755 owner your_admin
avoid using another folder
add use an .htaccess with Options -Indexes

Ok so i figured this out.. it was a GROUPS issue.. all my files/folders had the wrong groups.. i canged them to use the ADMIN group and POOF themy worked

i keep gettin these errors:
[2006-10-22 07:11:59]: info: (target/actual) uid: (admin/admin) gid: (admin/admin) cmd: test.cgi
[2006-10-22 07:11:59]: error: target uid/gid (1007/1007) mismatch with directory (1007/1004) or program (1007/1004)

with a little diggin i found this to helpful
http://www.slingcode.com/suexec.php



# The UID/GID of the user must match that of public_html, which must also match that of the CGI program.
A while back I set things up so that my public_html was owned by me, but the web server had group access. The reason I did this was because I wasn't running my web server as group users, because I didn't want users pawing through my raw web files.

The cgi.log file was more than happy to point this out:

info: (target/actual) uid: (wls/wls) gid: (users/users) cmd: junk.pl
error: target uid/gid (503/100) mismatch with directory (503/300) or program (503/100)

Note that all three of these values didn't match. Fix 'em, and you're set.


Well good luck....

If you change virtual_host.conf file and want it to apply to existing domains, execute the following commands:


echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d

and restart Apache:
FreeBSD


/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart

Centos/RHEL:


service httpd restart
