Hi,

first of all, hi to the community. I'm new to Turnkey linux and after 1 installation, I'm becoming a fan.... Thanks for great work.

I'd like to modify LAMP appliance (I really like TKLPatch approach), but first I need to get some software written as Perl CGI scripts working.

 

At the moment I have an rrd.cgi script in /var/www/cgi-bin and when I try to access if from remote location, I get the script as text - it doesn't get executed.

Since appliance is supposed to support Apache&Perl out of the box, I'm surely missing something simple ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

CGI should work out of the box (in cgi-bin). I filed a bug report. Thanks for reporting this!

Anyhow, for a Perl CGI script to execute in cgi-bin Apache has to be configured with the +ExecCGI option for the cgi-bin directory and a few other things. See this article for details.

same here. LAMP TKL. been trying to get a cgi to run. doesnt run by default.

editing httpd.conf as follows doesnt work at all.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options ExecCGI
  AddHandler cgi-script cgi
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

I have the same problem - I need to execute a script from cgi-bin  within the /var/www folder

 

Can't quite figure out what to point where - I did check the referenced article but this mostly refers to windows setup

 

Any thoughts much appreciated
