 Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2014 12:21 pm Post subject: Problems getting apache running |
 |
|
I installed apache the other day, without a problem, however CGI wasn't enabled.
I tried a couple different things but one of the posts on gentoo.org stated that a line needed to be added to my make.conf followed by re-emerging
| Code: |
APACHE2_MODULES="cgi"
|
Now it won't start. I get this error.
| Code: |
dan@mojo ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Password:
apache2 | * apache2 has detected an error in your setup:
apache2 |apache2: Syntax error on line 61 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_actions.so into server: /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_actions.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
apache2 | * ERROR: apache2 failed to start
|
it doesn't appear that the apache package installed this shared library. Do I need some other flag?
| Code: |
dan@mojo ~ $ equery f apache| grep .so
/usr/lib64/apache2/build/instdso.sh
/usr/lib64/apache2/modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so

| Based solely on the name, you need APACHE2_MODULES=actions. For me, this and many other modules, including cgi, defaulted to on. Please remove your APACHE2_MODULES definition and then post the output of emerge --pretend --verbose www-servers/apache. Also, please cite exactly what page told you to set APACHE2_MODULES. |

| According to that output, following the advice from huuan was a mistake. That output says you already had the cgi module enabled even without setting APACHE2_MODULES. Also, I think you misunderstood the advice from huuan. That post, which was a serious case of thread necromancy, was stating that if you had the cgi module enabled via APACHE2_MODULES, then only the configuration file change was required. According to your output, you had the cgi module enabled via APACHE2_MODULES even before your change. Rebuild Apache with APACHE2_MODULES not assigned via make.conf. |

| I will try but I did that once before. The web server worked, but I wasn't able to get cgi working. |

So I'm back to where I started. Apache seems to work fine but no matter what I do I can't seem to enable CGI.
currently I'm looking at this tutorial
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/diy-it-guy/diy-enable-cgi-on-your-apache-server/
I'm getting forbidden errors, but I don't think it should be an access issue. the test binary along with everything upstream has 755 permissions |

Is this where your test.pl is? (/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl)
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
http://bpaste.net/show/489432/ |
In your httpd.conf it seems like you expect to have the scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin
Does it work if you change to:
| Code: | ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/ !!<- this might already be defined elsewhere?!!
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
|
You might have a conf-file in /etc/apache2/modules.d/ which is messing with mod_cgi-settings, too? |

This is my virtual host entry. Intention is to have the index.html file at the default location "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/index.html
and have associated cgi scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin. From what I am told this is the best place to put these folders. Regardless, I think it's set up to
accomodate this. right?
| Code: |
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost> |

I'm not sure you're using that virtual host - I'd remove that from httpd.conf and edit the files found in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d.
ie.
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include and/or /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf
the conf-file is included from httpd.conf
| Code: | | Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf |
and the conf-file includes the default_vhost.include-file
| Code: | | Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include |
In the standard-configuration...
Also the default vhost seems to be *:80 - dunno if _default_:80 works, too? |
