Hello ALL,

I used to configure the CGI script with Apache websever on Windows
platform, but when I go for Red Hat platform, it seems doesn't work
according to what I used to configure on the Windows platform. I try
to add the followin information on the httpd.conf files on /usr/local/
apache2/conf/httpd.conf path, I don't change anything during the
installation--all default setting.

<IfModule mime_module>
TypesConfig conf/mime.types
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</IfModule mime_module>

and

<Directory />
Option FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
Allowoverride None
</Directory>
on the directory

and

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi

I have created 2 directories on /var/www/html/test-1, and /var/www/
html/test-2
and all the files permission is set to all executive, read, and
write...

but I still can't run the test.cgi script, it only display all the
softcode for me when I browse through the http://localhost/test-1/
test.cgi

Thank you,

Phally

IIRC syntax is :<IfModule mod_mime.c>

> TypesConfig conf/mime.types

</IfModule> will do

Dropping <IfModule ...> and </IfModule> should not harm or prove mod_mime is
not loaded

For security avoid running scripts located outside the site:
<Directory /var/www/html/> would be better.

> Option FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
Mixing prefixed and prefixless directive is not appriceated, try Options
FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

Check for more Option directives, they may conflict or undo this setting

Don't let the browser's cache fool you ;-)
