CGI issue (SUExec as well maybe)

[MathieuMa]

Hi,


I'm running ISPConfig 2.2 on a Debian Sarge perfect setup.
I'm trying to get CGI to work on a site but for now, after trying many things, I didn't manage.

In addition to checking "Enable CGI" for that host, here are the relevant additional configurations I added (they should be redundant, but well) :

ScriptAlias /calendar/ /var/www/web3/web/calendar/
<Directory /var/www/web3/web/calendar>
	Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

For my tests I'm trying to run a simple perl cgi which sends the html doctype and prints a nice hello world - it works locally.
The permissions are as follow :

-rwxr-xr-x   1 web3_xxx web3     78 Mar 23 10:45 test.cgi

The error log shows the following when hitting the CGI :

[error] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/web3/web/calendar/test.cgi' failed
[error] Premature end of script headers: test.cgi

I then decided to enable suexec, and here are the errors I get :

[error] Premature end of script headers: test.cgi
[error] failed to open log file
[error] fopen: Permission denied

The corresponding suexec log :

uid: (10008/web3_xxx) gid: (10003/10003) cmd: test.cgi

I also tested with falko's hello_world.pl in case, in the cgi-bin directory and in my calendar directory -> no go ...

Thanks in advance for any hint which could help

You must put all Perl scripts into the cgi-bin directory, and you must make them executable.
If you edited the scripts on a Windows PC before, you must save them with Unix linebreaks, not Windows linebreaks.

Putting the script in cgi-bin gave me the same result - but the additional directive I added should make them fine in the calendar directory.
Oh, and the script was executable : -rwxr-xr-x

I used vi on the server to edit my test - and unzipped your tests file directly on the server.

Did another test to be sure, placed my cgi in the cgi-bin directory.

suexec log tells me :

[2006-03-23 18:50:37]: uid: (10008/web3_claudem) gid: (10003/10003) cmd: test.cgi

Error log tells me :

[Thu Mar 23 18:51:25 2006] [error] [client xxx] failed to open log file
[Thu Mar 23 18:51:25 2006] [error] [client xxx] fopen: Permission denied
[Thu Mar 23 18:51:25 2006] [error] [client xxx] Premature end of script headers: test.cgi

Permissions are as follow :

web3_claudem@ns33446:/var/www/web3/cgi-bin$ ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   2 web3_claudem web3 4096 Mar 23 11:12 .
drwxr-xr-x  12 web3_claudem web3 4096 Mar 23 10:48 ..
-r--------   1 root         root    0 Feb 11 13:10 .no_delete
-rwxr-xr-x   1 web3_claudem web3   78 Mar 23 10:47 test.cgi

And I didn't changed the config

Test.cgi is as follow, written using vi in a term :

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "Hello World!!!";

Found my issue - the /var/www partition had the noexec option (I'm used to do that as I never used cgi before)
