[opensuse] Problems with cgi-scripts, apache2 on suse 10.3
I have been trying for a week to get apache to recognize a cgi script
and execute it. The script is part of a distributed package, so I
know it is my server configuration that is the issue. Basically, I
just get a browser prompt asking me what to do with "login.cgi". I
would greatly appreciate any help with this. I am running out of
ideas, and I know it is a simple fix. The folder is in
public_html/cgi-bin/. Here is my mod_userdir.conf file:
****
#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
#
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# Note that the name of the user directory
("public_html") cannot easily be
# changed here, since it is a compile time setting.
The apache package
# would have to be rebuilt. You could work around by deleting
# /usr/sbin/suexec, but then all scripts from the
directories would be
# executed with the UID of the webserver.
#
# To rebuild apache with another setting you need to change the
# %userdir define in the spec file.
# not every user's directory should be visible:
#UserDir disabled root
# to enable UserDir only for a certain set of users,
use this instead:
#UserDir disabled
#UserDir enabled user1 user2
# the UserDir directive is actually used inside the
virtual hosts, to
# have more control
UserDir public_html

<Snip> Have you made sure the script is executable? A quick test on Apache 2.2.4 on 10.3 failed if the script wasn't executable. It returned a 500 error and offered the error page as a download. Setting the script as executable and re-testing showed it works. Using: chmod 755 /path/to/script will probably get it working.
