We have a cobalt RAQ 4 and it appears that you cannot run SSI CGI scripts.

Is there any way to overcome this?

Any infomation would be helpful!

You can run CGI/SSI... the problem probably is CGI Wrap. Do a search on these forums and you'll find out how to use it properly =)

# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers",
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action command (see below)
#
# If you want to use server side includes, or CGI outside
# ScriptAliased directories, uncomment the following lines.
#
# To use CGI scripts:
#
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

#
# To use server-parsed HTML files
#
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

HostRat, check your httpd.conf file for the lines I have pasted above. Don't forget to restart apache after you have changed httpd.conf.

hello,

is cgi wrap the default setting for the raq4?

if so will the above suggestion change that?

thanx

David

That doesn't disable cgi-wrap, though it is possible.

but would it now allow regular cgi calls to be make (without using the cgi-wrap)?

thanks

I change the httpd.conf file and restart the server but when i tried to open my forum I get the 403 error message. :(

There is another thing you might want to look at that _might_ be causing this problem. Again in the httpd.conf file.. Look for ExecCGI..

<Directory "/usr/home/*/public_html">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes MultiViews SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec ExecCGI

If you want to disable the cgi-wrapper, all you need to do is either in the vhost block or an .htaccess file simply put a directive for cgi-script instead of cgi-wrapper and make sure ExecCGI is on.

Certify, try adding it to line starting with Options between the <Directory> tags. Make sure you add it to the one that has the path to your site dirs.

NameVirtualHost 209.217.55.217
<VirtualHost 209.217.55.217>
ServerName www.certifyexpress.com
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/home/web
ServerAlias certifyexpress.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^209.217.55.217(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.certifyexpress.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.certifyexpress.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/home/users/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/home/users/$1/web/$3
# AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
# AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl

Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType text/html .shtml
</VirtualHost>


The RED indicated the new lines that I have added but after reboot none of my .SHTML files can be parse??? .CGI files are still executable thou.

certify,

The ExecCGI line has to be added to <Directory> and not <VirtualHost>. I don't have my RaQ, so I can't look at it's httpd.conf file to tell you exactly where it should be. But look in your httpd.conf file for the <Directory /path/to/sitedirs>. It should already have an Options line, you just have to add ExecCGI to the end of that line.

I tired to post the entire httpd.conf file here but it is just too long for this board.

I can't find <Directory> that you mention. :(

I wish I had my RaQ3, just cancelled the server a week ago ;( I've been using FreeBSD since then, so I don't remember exactly how the RaQ was setup. Hmm.. Try looking in srm.conf in the same directory. Let me know if you find it in there.

Nope it is not in srm.conf file either.
