How do I get cgi working?

[waldis]

Maybe it sounds stupid, but we all face some stuff for the first time... unless someone is born with knowkedge.

I'm having trouble to get cgi working. I created a website, and it's index.html file is in

there is a cgi-bin folder under /srv/www/web2/ so I dumped all my cgi stuff in there, but from index.html (../cgi-bin/products.cgi?...) points me to http://mywebsite.com:280/cgi-bin/products.cgi?... the same as without ../ and gives me "website cannot display the page"

Then I create cgi-bin in /srv/www/web2/web/ and again I get the same... I keep changing permissions and everything, but I'm not getting anywhere...

Please help.

I'm using SuSE 10.1 installed with ISPConfig as outlined in Perfect setup.

On the website I have checkmarked everything with cgi and php, and actually every single option for it...

Thank you,

Waldis

The ISPConfig websites are on port 80 and not 280, or did you patch the ISPConfig code to write another Vhost_ispconfig.conf file. Dont mix up the apache server on port 81 which is for the controlpanle only and the 2nd apache on port 80, which is for the websites.

I changed /etc/apache2/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and /etc/apache2/listen.conf files so it would be on port 280 instead, since my port 80 is blocked from outside, so there is no point sitting on it.

I can access the control panel on port 81 and the website from outside on port 280, just cgi is not working...

Also tried to edit /etc/apache2/default-server.conf and change

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/"
to
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/*/cgi-bin/"
to
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/srv/www/*/web/cgi-bin/"

also <Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin"> to reflect changes, and restarting Apache, but no good, stil no workie...

What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf? Did you try the test files? http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171

[waldis]

I can pull up .pl file, and even when I rename it to .txt I can open it thru my browser, but any other files - just wouldn't find them. I'm attaching Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and the output of ls -l /srv/www/web2/cgi-bin/ > cgi-bin.out in a zip file

Thank you!

Looks ok. Does hello_world.pl work then?
