Package: apache Version: 1.3.33-6 Severity: normal The last few lines of my httpd.conf are:
<Location /~esper/> AllowOverride All Options +ExecCGI </Location> Alias /cgiappname/ /home/esper/public_html/cgiappname/ <Location /cgiappname/> AllowOverride All Options +ExecCGI </Location> However, no cgi apps will execute successfully under the current apache packages if accessed via ~esper - even though they work perfectly when the same cgi file is accessed via an alias. i.e., http://localhost/cgiappname/bin/ works fine http://localhost/~esper/cgiappname/bin/ gives a 500 Internal Server Error As both of these URLs should resolve to the same physical file and have the same options set (per the httpd.conf fragment given above), they should both produce the same results rather than one succeeding and the other failing. Additionally, when this 500 Internal Server Error is given, the only message generated in /var/log/apache/error.log is "Premature end of script headers: /home/esper/public_html/cgiappname/bin/index.cgi", which fails to identify the actual problem and gives no clue where to look for it. This worked perfectly (with either URL) as of about a month ago, although I can't tell you what version of apache I was running at that time. I assume this broke when sarge went stable, but cannot confirm that as I hadn't tried to access any cgi apps through my UserDir for a few weeks. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Kernel Version: Linux kuno 2.4.23-filter #2 Thu Nov 4 13:17:06 CST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux Versions of the packages apache depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.33-6 support files for all Apache webservers ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management system ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Debian ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-18 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [runtime] ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime library ii libmagic1 4.12-1 File type determination library using "magic ii logrotate 3.5.9-8 Log rotation utility ii mime-support 3.18-1.3 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap', and sup ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
