 |

This used to work, then I had to rebuild libraries due to gentoo developers hijinx, and then I turned docs on and rebuilt --newuse
I'm using vhosts to develop websites and cgis. I can access html and php files, but can no longer run cgi programs.
My /etc/conf.d/apache2 has:
| Code: | | APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D LANGUAGE -D MANUAL -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D SUEXEC -D USERDIR -D PHP5" |
From the browser I get
| Code: | Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~complife/cgi-bin/cqsl.cgi on this server |
From the error log I get
| Code: | | Options ExecCGI if off in this directory:... |
Permissions are set for public read and execute, and I can access html files inside the cgi-bin directory. There is no .htaccess file around, so I don't know what it is complaining about.
Does anyone have a clue?

Apparently there is a new use flag (suexec) which I didn't know about. My latest update must have cleaned out old modules and because the new use flag wasn't set, I didn't get that modules.
I discovered it by putting errors into the configuration file and finding if the module was being loaded. It wasn't.
An easy fix once you know what it is.  |
