[cobalt-users] Secure CGI on a RaQ4

["WebSite Creations" <main@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List Members,

 I"ve searched the Cobalt Archives for the following

'secure cgi raq4'

but get nothing but "The cobalt-users 2000-August Archive by Date"
types of responses.  I narrowed my search to "secure cgi" but cannot be
certain that the info applies to a RaQ4 and my situation.

---- WHAT I AM DOING WITH SSL -----
I have recently enabled shared SSL on my RaQ4 (thanks to the Archives and
someone who
went down this path before me and who was kind enough to share their
experience).

Now, I would like to enable secure cgi callS on virtual domains.  Currently,
I get a 500
Internal Server Error.

here is what I did for secure SSL.  As root, I opened and edited the
following file;

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Looked up the virtual domain that has the secure cert installed

/server600.net

Found the lines:
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site3/users/$1/web/$3

Then added this line directly below it:

AliasMatch ^/secure/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3

Saved the file, restarted the web server and now I can access any
virtual site on this server via the following format

https://www.server600.net/secure/www.nameofsite.com/filename.html

Here is a working example;
https://www.server600.net/secure/www.avidinternet.com/index.html

Here is a working example of a secure cgi call (500 error is the result)
https://www.server600.net/secure/www.avidinternet.com/formmail.pl

Note, I have chmod the permissions of formmail.pl to 755 so that is not the
problem;
It works without calling securely, see for yourself;

http://www.avidinternet.com/formmail.pl

Thus, I am stumped.  I have seen some info about RaQ 1,2, and 3, but nothing
on doing this on the RaQ4.

If someone could offer some assistance, I would be very grateful.

Thank You,
Bill Micke
