Getting cgi to work...

[Anonymous]

Have a problem getting cgi script to work...
Here is error:

The requested URL /cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi was not found on this server.

Shouldn't that be looking at /www.myaddress.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi ??

I edited httpd.conf to allow cgi scripts and set the directories correctly, also chmodded what needed to be done...

DocumentRoot "/var/www"

Regular web page works ok...

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/ "

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/">

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

-rwxrwxrwx 1 knightmare users 13344 Dec 6 12:03 Settings.pl

-rwxrwxrwx 1 knightmare users 2969 Dec 6 11:54 YaBB.cgi

See anything wrong?? Who want's to telnet in and fix this one

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/ "

I'm not sure, it probably shouldn't matter, but, do you see the space between the '/' and the '"'? What happens if you remove it?

btw,. here two exerpts from mine httpd.conf (if that can be of any help):

        # ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts.
        # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that
        # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and
        # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client.
        # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to
        # Alias.
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
        Options ExecCGI
        
        AllowOverride None
        Allow from from all

        Order allow,deny
</Directory>
