Re: [cobalt-users] cgi on ssl on RAQ2

["TC Concepts" <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

httpsd.conf is a symbolic link to httpd-ssl.conf.  I'm assuming it's the
latter that I need to modify.  I've looked all through this file and
there are about fifty different things dealing with cgi.  None of them
is as straightforward as "uncomment this line to enable cgi".  Would
that it were that simple.  There are three other sections that look
potentially promising, but I'm a little hesitant to mess with them
without a little more confidence that it's really what I need to do.

One looks like this:

***************************

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes


***************************

Should I add ExecCGI?

Here's another:

***************************

#
# 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/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/

#
# /home/httpd/cgi-bin should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin>
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

***************************

My thinking on this is that it doesn't really matter, that all this is
saying is that IF a path is shown as
https://ssl.secureserver.com/cgi-bin/ that it will point to
home/httpd/cgi-bin to look for the script.

Finally, we have:

***************************

#
# 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 command (see below)
#
# If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
# ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
#
# To use CGI scripts:
#
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

***************************

As you can see, I've already uncommented the line.  It doesn't seem to
help.  But perhaps I need to do the first one also.  Any clues?  Anyone?

With kindest regards, I am . . .

for a the cgi extension definition and uncomment it. Mine is commented
out, but I haven't needed cgi yet, so I have left it alone. I use PHP
for any scripting that I am doing so I haven't used CGI.
