Hello,
I am learning Apache HTTP Server and I was wondering what is the best
practice to map all the request valid or invalid to a single script on my
server.
For example, if anybody tries to access my site www.example.com, then my
server should execute the script ( which in turn will respond with HTML - so
a CGI script). If user tries to access an invalid url -
www.example.com/invalid, again server should execute the same script and so
forth.
Assuming the script name is test-cgi, I tried doing two things:
[1] I created a www directory and then made it a my DocumentRoot.
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/www"
[2] I gave the permission to run the cgi scripts to this directory
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
[3]I made the default file to be my script when the directory is accessed
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex test-cgi
</IfModule>
[4] I mapped every request prefixed with "/" to be mapped to www folder
using ScriptAlias
ScriptAlias / "/usr/local/apache2/www/"
But when I try to access http://localhost/ , it throws me 403 Forbidden
error. Also, if I make any invalid request, for example - if try to access a
folder http://localhost/tmp/ or file http://localhost/tmpfile it gives me
URL Not found error. I was wondering what is the right way to fix my conf
file to get the desired output.
