Problems with the web CGI files

mjlejeu · May 18, 2005, 3:21pm

I set up the web pages for it in lampp(xampp), but when I try to pull up a cgi, the info on the page is blank. the CGI ran but there is no information to look at.I am puting a copy of my httpd.conf below to see it there is any thing that I did wrong.

I have a rediredt for the cgi and a directory alias for the html pages.

<-----httpd.conf------>

Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.

This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the

configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

See URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ for detailed information about

the directives.

Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding

what they do. They’re here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure

consult the online docs. You have been warned.

The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:

1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a

whole (the ‘global environment’).

2. Directives that define the parameters of the ‘main’ or ‘default’ server,

which responds to requests that aren’t handled by a virtual host.

These directives also provide default values for the settings

of all virtual hosts.

3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to

different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the

same Apache server process.

Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many

of the server’s control files begin with “/” (or “drive:/” for Win32), the

server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do not begin

with “/”, the value of ServerRoot is prepended – so “logs/foo.log”

with ServerRoot set to “/opt/lampp” will be interpreted by the

server as “/opt/lampp/logs/foo.log”.

Section 1: Global Environment

The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,

such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it

can find its configuration files.

ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server’s

configuration, error, and log files are kept.

NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)

mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation

(available at URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#lockfile);

you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

ServerRoot “/opt/lampp”

The accept serialization lock file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.

<IfModule !mpm_winnt.c>
<IfModule !mpm_netware.c>
#LockFile logs/accept.lock

ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.

If unspecified (the default), the scoreboard will be stored in an

anonymous shared memory segment, and will be unavailable to third-party

applications.

If specified, ensure that no two invocations of Apache share the same

scoreboard file. The scoreboard file MUST BE STORED ON A LOCAL DISK.

<IfModule !mpm_netware.c>
<IfModule !perchild.c>
#ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_runtime_status

PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process

identification number when it starts.

<IfModule !mpm_netware.c>
PidFile logs/httpd.pid

Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.

Timeout 300

KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than

one request per connection). Set to “Off” to deactivate.

KeepAlive On

MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow

during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.

We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.

MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the

same client on the same connection.

KeepAliveTimeout 15

Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

ports, in addition to the default. See also the

directive.

Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support

To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you

have to place corresponding `LoadModule’ lines at this location so the

directives contained in it are actually available before they are used.

Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l’) do not need

to be loaded here.

Example:

ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate “full” status

information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus

Off) when the “server-status” handler is called. The default is Off.

#ExtendedStatus On

Section 2: ‘Main’ server configuration

The directives in this section set up the values used by the ‘main’

server, which responds to any requests that aren’t handled by a

definition. These values also provide defaults for

any containers you may define later in the file.

All of these directives may appear inside containers,

in which case these default settings will be overridden for the

virtual host being defined.

If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run

httpd as root initially and it will switch.

User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.

. On SCO (ODT 3) use “User nouser” and “Group nogroup”.

. On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the

suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.

NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)

when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;

don’t use Group #-1 on these systems!

User nobody

commented out by lampp compatibility check

#Group nogroup
Group nobody

ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be

e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such

as error documents. e.g. [email protected]

ServerAdmin [email protected]

ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.

This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify

it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.

If this is not set to valid DNS name for your host, server-generated

redirections will not work. See also the UseCanonicalName directive.

If your host doesn’t have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.

You will have to access it by its address anyway, and this will make

redirections work in a sensible way.

ServerName sandbox.designplusllc.com

UseCanonicalName: Determines how Apache constructs self-referencing

URLs and the SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT variables.

When set “Off”, Apache will use the Hostname and Port supplied

by the client. When set “On”, Apache will use the value of the

ServerName directive.

UseCanonicalName Off

DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your

documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but

symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.

DocumentRoot “/opt/lampp/htdocs”

Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect

to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that

directory (and its subdirectories).

First, we configure the “default” to be a very restrictive set of

features.

Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None

Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow

particular features to be enabled - so if something’s not working as

you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it

below.

This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.

Possible values for the Options directive are “None”, “All”,

or any combination of:

Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI Multiviews

Note that “MultiViews” must be named explicitly — “Options All”

doesn’t give it to you.

The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see

httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options

for more information.

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes

AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:

Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

#AllowOverride AuthConfig
# since XAMPP 1.4:
AllowOverride All

Controls who can get stuff from this server.

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user’s home

directory if a ~user request is received.

UserDir public_html

Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example

for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.

#<Directory /home/*/public_html>

AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

#

DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

is requested.

The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-

negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the

same purpose, but it is much slower.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.php3 index.php4

AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory

for additional configuration directives. See also the AllowOverride

directive.

AccessFileName .htaccess

The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being

viewed by Web clients.

<Files ~ “^.ht”>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all

TypesConfig describes where the mime.types file (or equivalent) is

to be found.

TypesConfig etc/mime.types

DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a document

if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.

If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, “text/plain” is

a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications

or images, you may want to use “application/octet-stream” instead to

keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are

text.

DefaultType text/plain

The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints from the

contents of the file itself to determine its type. The MIMEMagicFile

directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.

MIMEMagicFile etc/magic

HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses

e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).

The default is off because it’d be overall better for the net if people

had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that

each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the

nameserver.

HostnameLookups Off

EnableMMAP: Control whether memory-mapping is used to deliver

files (assuming that the underlying OS supports it).

The default is on; turn this off if you serve from NFS-mounted

filesystems. On some systems, turning it off (regardless of

filesystem) can improve performance; for details, please see

httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/co … enablemmap

#EnableMMAP off

EnableSendfile: Control whether the sendfile kernel support is

used to deliver files (assuming that the OS supports it).

The default is on; turn this off if you serve from NFS-mounted

filesystems. Please see

httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/co … lesendfile

#EnableSendfile off

ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.

If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a

container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be

logged here. If you do define an error logfile for a

container, that host’s errors will be logged there and not here.

ErrorLog logs/error_log

LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.

Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

alert, emerg.

LogLevel warn

The following directives define some format nicknames for use with

a CustomLog directive (see below).

LogFormat “%h %l %u %t “%r” %>s %b “%{Referer}i” “%{User-Agent}i”” combined
LogFormat “%h %l %u %t “%r” %>s %b” common
LogFormat “%{Referer}i -> %U” referer
LogFormat “%{User-agent}i” agent

The location and format of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).

If you do not define any access logfiles within a

container, they will be logged here. Contrariwise, if you do

define per- access logfiles, transactions will be

logged therein and not in this file.

CustomLog logs/access_log common

If you would like to have agent and referer logfiles, uncomment the

following directives.

#CustomLog logs/referer_log referer
#CustomLog logs/agent_log agent

If you prefer a single logfile with access, agent, and referer information

(Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.

#CustomLog logs/access_log combined

ServerTokens

This directive configures what you return as the Server HTTP response

Header. The default is ‘Full’ which sends information about the OS-Type

and compiled in modules.

Set to one of: Full | OS | Minor | Minimal | Major | Prod

where Full conveys the most information, and Prod the least.

ServerTokens Full

Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host

name to server-generated pages (error documents, FTP directory listings,

mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated documents).

Set to “EMail” to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.

Set to one of: On | Off | EMail

ServerSignature On

Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is

Alias fakename realname

Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will

require it to be present in the URL. So “/icons” isn’t aliased in this

example, only “/icons/”. If the fakename is slash-terminated, then the

realname must also be slash terminated, and if the fakename omits the

trailing slash, the realname must also omit it.

We include the /icons/ alias for FancyIndexed directory listings. If you

do not use FancyIndexing, you may comment this out.

Alias /icons/ “/opt/lampp/icons/”

<Directory “/opt/lampp/icons”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Alias /nagios “/usr/share/nagios/”

<Directory “/usr/share/nagios”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

This should be changed to the ServerRoot/manual/. The alias provides

the manual, even if you choose to move your DocumentRoot. You may comment

this out if you do not care for the documentation.

Alias /manuals “/opt/lampp/manuals”

<Directory “/opt/lampp/manuals”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.

ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that

documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and

run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.

The same rules about trailing “/” apply to ScriptAlias directives as to

Alias.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/usr/lib/nagios/cgi/”

# # Additional to mod_cgid.c settings, mod_cgid has Scriptsock # for setting UNIX socket for communicating with cgid. # #Scriptsock logs/cgisock

“/opt/lampp/cgi-bin” should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased

CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

<Directory “/usr/lib/nagios/cgi/”>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Redirect allows you to tell clients about documents which used to exist in

your server’s namespace, but do not anymore. This allows you to tell the

clients where to look for the relocated document.

Example:

Redirect permanent /foo example.com/bar

Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings.

IndexOptions: Controls the appearance of server-generated directory

listings.

IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort

AddIcon* directives tell the server which icon to show for different

files or filename extensions. These are only displayed for

FancyIndexed directories.

AddIconByEncoding (CMP,/icons/compressed.gif) x-compress x-gzip

AddIconByType (TXT,/icons/text.gif) text/*
AddIconByType (IMG,/icons/image2.gif) image/*

AddIcon /icons/folder.gif ^^DIRECTORY^^
AddIcon /icons/blank.gif ^^BLANKICON^^

DefaultIcon is which icon to show for files which do not have an icon

explicitly set.

DefaultIcon /icons/unknown.gif

AddDescription allows you to place a short description after a file in

server-generated indexes. These are only displayed for FancyIndexed

directories.

Format: AddDescription “description” filename

#AddDescription “GZIP compressed document” .gz
#AddDescription “tar archive” .tar
#AddDescription “GZIP compressed tar archive” .tgz

ReadmeName is the name of the README file the server will look for by

default, and append to directory listings.

HeaderName is the name of a file which should be prepended to

directory indexes.

ReadmeName README.html
HeaderName HEADER.html

IndexIgnore is a set of filenames which directory indexing should ignore

and not include in the listing. Shell-style wildcarding is permitted.

IndexIgnore .??* ~ # HEADER README RCS CVS *,v *,t

AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers (Mosaic/X 2.1+) uncompress

information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.

Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing

to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.

AddEncoding x-compress Z
AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz

DefaultLanguage and AddLanguage allows you to specify the language of

a document. You can then use content negotiation to give a browser a

file in a language the user can understand.

Specify a default language. This means that all data

going out without a specific language tag (see below) will

be marked with this one. You probably do NOT want to set

this unless you are sure it is correct for all cases.

* It is generally better to not mark a page as

* being a certain language than marking it with the wrong

* language!

DefaultLanguage nl

Note 1: The suffix does not have to be the same as the language

keyword — those with documents in Polish (whose net-standard

language code is pl) may wish to use “AddLanguage pl .po” to

avoid the ambiguity with the common suffix for perl scripts.

Note 2: The example entries below illustrate that in some cases

the two character ‘Language’ abbreviation is not identical to

the two character ‘Country’ code for its country,

E.g. ‘Danmark/dk’ versus ‘Danish/da’.

Note 3: In the case of ‘ltz’ we violate the RFC by using a three char

specifier. There is ‘work in progress’ to fix this and get

the reference data for rfc1766 cleaned up.

Danish (da) - Dutch (nl) - English (en) - Estonian (et)

French (fr) - German (de) - Greek-Modern (el)

Italian (it) - Norwegian (no) - Norwegian Nynorsk (nn) - Korean (ko)

Portugese (pt) - Luxembourgeois* (ltz)

Spanish (es) - Swedish (sv) - Catalan (ca) - Czech(cz)

Polish (pl) - Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br) - Japanese (ja)

LanguagePriority allows you to give precedence to some languages

in case of a tie during content negotiation.

Just list the languages in decreasing order of preference. We have

more or less alphabetized them here. You probably want to change this.

LanguagePriority en da nl et fr de el it ja ko no pl pt pt-br ltz ca es sv tw

ForceLanguagePriority allows you to serve a result page rather than

MULTIPLE CHOICES (Prefer) [in case of a tie] or NOT ACCEPTABLE (Fallback)

[in case no accepted languages matched the available variants]

ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback

Specify a default charset for all pages sent out. This is

always a good idea and opens the door for future internationalisation

of your web site, should you ever want it. Specifying it as

a default does little harm; as the standard dictates that a page

is in iso-8859-1 (latin1) unless specified otherwise i.e. you

are merely stating the obvious. There are also some security

reasons in browsers, related to javascript and URL parsing

which encourage you to always set a default char set.

AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1

Commonly used filename extensions to character sets. You probably

want to avoid clashes with the language extensions, unless you

are good at carefully testing your setup after each change.

See ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignm … acter-sets for

the official list of charset names and their respective RFCs

AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .iso8859-1 .latin1
AddCharset ISO-8859-2 .iso8859-2 .latin2 .cen
AddCharset ISO-8859-3 .iso8859-3 .latin3
AddCharset ISO-8859-4 .iso8859-4 .latin4
AddCharset ISO-8859-5 .iso8859-5 .latin5 .cyr .iso-ru

AddCharset ISO-2022-KR .iso2022-kr .kis
AddCharset ISO-2022-CN .iso2022-cn .cis
AddCharset Big5 .Big5 .big5

For russian, more than one charset is used (depends on client, mostly):

AddCharset WINDOWS-1251 .cp-1251 .win-1251
AddCharset CP866 .cp866
AddCharset KOI8-r .koi8-r .koi8-ru
AddCharset KOI8-ru .koi8-uk .ua
AddCharset ISO-10646-UCS-2 .ucs2
AddCharset ISO-10646-UCS-4 .ucs4
AddCharset UTF-8 .utf8

The set below does not map to a specific (iso) standard

but works on a fairly wide range of browsers. Note that

capitalization actually matters (it should not, but it

does for some browsers).

See ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignm … acter-sets

for a list of sorts. But browsers support few.

AddCharset GB2312 .gb2312 .gb

AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration

file mime.types for specific file types.

AddType application/x-tar .tgz
AddType image/x-icon .ico

AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to “handlers”:

actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server

or added with the Action directive (see below)

To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:

(You will also need to add “ExecCGI” to the “Options” directive.)

until LAMPP 0.9.7:

#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

since LAMPP 0.9.8:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

For files that include their own HTTP headers:

#AddHandler send-as-is asis

For server-parsed imagemap files:

#AddHandler imap-file map

For type maps (negotiated resources):

(This is enabled by default to allow the Apache “It Worked” page

to be distributed in multiple languages.)

AddHandler type-map var

Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.

To parse .shtml files for server-side includes (SSI):

(You will also need to add “Includes” to the “Options” directive.)

AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever

a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL

pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.

Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location

Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location

Customizable error responses come in three flavors:

1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects

Some examples:

#ErrorDocument 500 “The server made a boo boo.”
#ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html
#ErrorDocument 404 “/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl”
#ErrorDocument 402 example.com/subscription_info.html

Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.

We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_.html.var response to

our collection of by-error message multi-language collections. We use

includes to substitute the appropriate text.

You can modify the messages’ appearance without changing any of the

default HTTP_.html.var files by adding the line:

Alias /error/include/ “/your/include/path/”

which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the

/opt/lampp/error/include/ files and copying them to /your/include/path/,

even on a per-VirtualHost basis. The default include files will display

your Apache version number and your ServerAdmin email address regardless

of the setting of ServerSignature.

The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include

and mod_negotiation. To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.

Alias /error/ “/opt/lampp/error/”

<Directory “/opt/lampp/error”>

The following directives modify normal HTTP response behavior to

handle known problems with browser implementations.

BrowserMatch “Mozilla/2” nokeepalive
BrowserMatch “MSIE 4.0b2;” nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch “RealPlayer 4.0” force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch “Java/1.0” force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch “JDK/1.0” force-response-1.0

The following directive disables redirects on non-GET requests for

a directory that does not include the trailing slash. This fixes a

problem with Microsoft WebFolders which does not appropriately handle

redirects for folders with DAV methods.

BrowserMatch “Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider” redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch “^WebDrive” redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch “^WebDAVFS/1.[012]” redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch “^gnome-vfs” redirect-carefully

Allow server status reports, with the URL of servername/server-status

Change the “.your-domain.com” to match your domain to enable.

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

Allow remote server configuration reports, with the URL of

servername/server-info (requires that mod_info.c be loaded).

Change the “.your-domain.com” to match your domain to enable.

<Location /server-info>
SetHandler server-info
Order deny,allow

#ProxyVia On

To enable the cache as well, edit and uncomment the following lines:

(no cacheing without CacheRoot)

#CacheRoot “/opt/lampp/proxy”
#CacheSize 5
#CacheGcInterval 4
#CacheMaxExpire 24
#CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1
#CacheDefaultExpire 1
#NoCache a-domain.com another-domain.edu joes.garage-sale.com

End of proxy directives.

Bring in additional module-specific configurations

Include etc/ssl.conf

Section 3: Virtual Hosts

VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your

machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations

use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn’t need to worry about

IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.

Please see the documentation at

URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/

for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.

You may use the command line option ‘-S’ to verify your virtual host

configuration.

Use name-based virtual hosting.

#NameVirtualHost *

VirtualHost example:

Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.

The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known

server name.

#<VirtualHost *>

ServerAdmin [email protected]
