I've installed Apache/2.2.9 on a Debian Embedded Linux system. On this embedded system I've compiled C programs to *binary* cgi scripts. These scripts are copied to the /var/www/cgi-bin directory and changed rights to 755. The scripts address IO-pins on the embedded system and for that reason the scripts need to be executed as root and not as the Apache www-data user. The apache2.conf file contains the lines: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/ <Directory /var/www/cgi-bin/> Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl </Directory> </VirtualHost> If I run the scripts as root in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory all is fine. But when trying to run the scripts using Apache via a web page nothing happens. This is because the scripts are run as www-data user and the www-data user is not allowed to perform these actions. Suexec doesn't work either because suexec expects ascii written cgi/php/pl script. What do I need to change to be able to execute the binary cgi scripts as root? And yes I'm awear of possible security issues. Regards. |
