Thanks, I seem to have gotten that functionality some other way
because currently cgi works anywhere under $public_html.
My setting is quite a bit different:
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride All
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
</Directory>
Yet cgi is recognized and executed anywhere under: Directory
/home/*/public_html/
Something that is really puzzling here is that with a default
non-inclusive statement like this over '/':
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
I can still execute all cgi under Directory /home/*/public_html and
any subdirectories.
However I appears I have to explicitly set execCGI for any sub
directories under $htdocs
I have these in place but pretty sure they are not very pretty:
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/>
Options All MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/exp>
Options All MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
I could not execute cgi at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/exp without an
explicit Directory statment.
If I were to hit a cgi at /var/www/localhost/htdocs/othersub
It will not fire but display like file and error log message from
apache2 saying I don't have execCGI in that directory.
That is, execCGI is recursive under $public_html but only goes one
directory at a time under $htdocs (/var/www/localhost/htdocs)
I'm pretty sure this is the reason:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/
But without that apache doesn't now about /cgi-bin/
Maybe the ScriptAlias should be set inside the Directory statement of
/var/www/localhost? Is that even a possible way to do things?
