Subject: Apache vhost problem
Hello Everyone,
I have a question, but first I'll give you some
background information. I am running Apache 1.3.12 on RedHat Linux 6.2
with mod_rewrite, mod_vhost_alias, and the normal other modules. I am doing
name based virtual hosting. In my httpd.conf I have the
following:
UseCanonicalName off
VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/bus/%0/www/
VirtualScriptAlias
/usr/bus/%0/cgi-bin/
This works great, because when someone goes to www.domain1.com, it uses
/usr/bus/www.domain.com/www/ for the base, and www.domain2.com uses
/usr/bus/www.domain.com/www/, and so on. The problem comes into when I
attempt to go to any cgi-bin directories, for instance when I try and open up
www.domain1.com/cgi-bin/test.pl
- which has a test cgi script I put together, it gives me a 404 error. And the
same thing with other cgi-bin's on other domains on the server. The
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log says the following:
[Sun Dec 3 21:11:30 2000] [error] [client
192.168.1.3] script not found or unable to stat:
/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test.pl
All of the permissions are correct for the
/usr/bus/*/www's and cgi-bin's, and I am stumped as to why this is not
working... I have tried taking the "/"'s off of the end in the Virtual...
directives, but to no avail. And In a Wrox book I have about apache it
says to put in: VirtualScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/bus/%0/cgi-bin/ but when I
do that apache gives me some error about VirtualScriptAlias only accepting one
value...
I have also tried to make a cgi-bin directory
under the www directory (instead of keeping them seperate), and putting in:
VirtualScriptAlias /usr/bus/%0/www/cgi-bin/, but still no dice.... I have
tried this with both Apache 1.3.14 and Apache 1.3.12, and even wiped clean and
re-compiled Apache.., and have checked all the docs on Apache's
website..
And before I switched to the mod_vhost_alias
setup, I had a NameVirtual Host directive and <VirtualHost> directives
for each host, and cgi-bin's worked great that way, but it seems that the
vhost way would be much simpler and quicker...
Does anyone have any ideas on why this isn't
working?
Thank you in advance,
Ken Jansons
