http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44316 Summary: httpd 2.0 does not follow ScriptAliases when invoking an ErrorDocument Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.8 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: ErrorMessage Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The documentation for ScriptAlias states that "It is safer to avoid placing CGI scripts under the DocumentRoot in order to avoid accidentally revealing their source code if the configuration is ever changed. The ScriptAlias makes this easy by mapping a URL and designating CGI scripts at the same time." httpd 1.x would follow ScriptAliases to correctly call a CGI error handler specified with an ErrorDocument statement, located in a ScriptAliased CGI directory located outside the DocumentRoot as per the above advice. httpd 2.0 does NOT follow ScriptAliases when calling an ErrorDocument, resulting in a 500 Internal Server Error. Nothing is logged to indicate the cause of the error, and the fact that ErrorDocument calls do not follow ScriptAliases is not documented anywhere (that I've found, at least). Since it is not documented that httpd 2.0 does NOT follow ScriptAliases when invoking an ErrorDocument, and it worked in httpd 1.0, there is no reason to suspect when troubleshooting the failure that this is the problem. There is no obvious way to reproduce the failure that yields any information about why it failed. To further confuse diagnosing the problem, if you try to test your error-handler CGI by setting up an alias to load the CGI directly in a browser, instead of in response to an error, the ScriptAlias will be followed, and the CGI will work exactly as you expect it to. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
