CGI, itself, is not a problem. Getting the HTTPD and VHosts configurations
set correctly so the cgi files are found is the problem. As noted before,
everything works as intended with the Apache 1.3 server version but does not on
Apache 2.3. Of note is the fact that specific authorization (placed within the
Virtual Host) to access the cgi directory was not required in my Apache 1.3
application.
I wasn’t sure I could simply upgrade to 2.4 so I chose to go with 2.2.
There are also some changes within 2.4 that require getting used to. At this
point I had just as soon run 1.3 on the Windows 2012 server if I could get it to
work and learn/practice with 2.2 or 2.4 on the side until I know everything is
working properly (I will have four or more websites on the server when all is
set up). I’ve tried every VHost configuration that I can think of and Apache 2.2
does not find the cgi file when called. On Apache 1.3 the file is found and
executed. Something, somewhere, within Apache 2.2 config is incorrect. I haven’t
been able to find it and I’ve looked at documentation from everyplace and
everyone I can find or contact.
Presently the DNS for minorityrecruiter.com points to my old server and
Apache 1.3. Go to www.minorityrecruiter.com and click
CGI TEST PAGE. You will get a return --- It Works!!. When the DNS is pointed at
the IP address of my new server that doesn’t happen. You get the index page but
when the CGI TEST PAGE link is clicked you get an error –‘Systems cannot find
the specified file’.
Would it be helped if I posted the entire HTTPD config file?
Thank for any and all assistance.

I'm gathering that you are trying to migrate from1.3 to 2.2. If this is the case, why are you not moving to 2.4? I don't do anything with cgi so I can't help you with that part. -- 73 ------------------------------------- Jim Walls - K6CCC jim@xxxxxxxxx Ofc: 818-548-4804 http://members.dslextreme.com/users/k6ccc/ AMSAT Member 32537 - WSWSS Member 395 |
