Bug#763582: apache2: Apache2 cannot run CGI scripts in "jessie"
Package: apache2 Followup-For: Bug #763582 Dear Maintainer, Today I investigated the problem again and could solve it for me: 1. I moved my configuration file from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled 2. I renamed the configuration file from home_rja to home_rja.conf 3. I changed the configuration to ScriptAlias /~rja/cgi-bin/ /home/rja/public_html/cgi-bin/ AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl AllowOverride None Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI Require all granted which basically included a) removing the quotation marks in the ScriptAlias directive and b) removing the trailing slash in the Directory directive. I am not sure, which of the three changes caused the disappearance of the problem, but now the CGI scripts are executed and not served in plain text. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-bin2.4.10-5 ii apache2-data 2.4.10-5 ii apache2-utils 2.4.10-5 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii mime-support 3.57 ii perl 5.20.1-2 ii procps 2:3.3.9-8 Versions of packages apache2 recommends: ii ssl-cert 1.0.35 Versions of packages apache2 suggests: pn apache2-doc pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 31.1.0esr-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii w3m [www-browser]0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2-bin depends on: ii libapr1 1.5.1-3 ii libaprutil1 1.5.4-1 ii libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 1.5.4-1 ii libaprutil1-ldap 1.5.4-1 ii libc62.19-12 ii libldap-2.4-22.4.40-2 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.5-7.1 ii libpcre3 1:8.35-3.1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1j-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-4 ii perl 5.20.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages apache2-bin suggests: pn apache2-doc pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 31.1.0esr-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii w3m [www-browser]0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2 is related to: ii apache2 2.4.10-5 ii apache2-bin 2.4.10-5 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#763582: apache2: Apache2 cannot run CGI scripts in "jessie"
Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.10-5 Followup-For: Bug #763582 Dear Maintainer, I upgraded from wheezy to jessie and now my Perl-based CGI scripts don't work. I followed many suggestions to improve and upgrade my config and finally came up with the following content in my sites-enabled/my_home.conf file: # allow CGI scripts for user rja ScriptAlias /~rja/cgi-bin/ "/home/rja/public_html/cgi-bin/" AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl AllowOverride None Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI Require all granted Unfortunately, CGI scripts are still not executed: the browser always downloads/shows the plain source code of the script. mod_cgid and mod_perl are both installed and enabled. This seems to be related to this bug, I hope it's not a configuration error on my side. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apache2 depends on: ii apache2-bin2.4.10-5 ii apache2-data 2.4.10-5 ii apache2-utils 2.4.10-5 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 ii mime-support 3.57 ii perl 5.20.1-2 ii procps 2:3.3.9-8 Versions of packages apache2 recommends: ii ssl-cert 1.0.35 Versions of packages apache2 suggests: pn apache2-doc pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 31.1.0esr-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii w3m [www-browser]0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2-bin depends on: ii libapr1 1.5.1-3 ii libaprutil1 1.5.4-1 ii libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 1.5.4-1 ii libaprutil1-ldap 1.5.4-1 ii libc62.19-11 ii libldap-2.4-22.4.40-2 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.5-7.1 ii libpcre3 1:8.35-3.1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1j-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-4 ii perl 5.20.1-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages apache2-bin suggests: pn apache2-doc pn apache2-suexec-pristine | apache2-suexec-custom ii epiphany-browser [www-browser] 3.12.1-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 31.1.0esr-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.9dev1-2 ii w3m [www-browser]0.5.3-17 Versions of packages apache2 is related to: ii apache2 2.4.10-5 ii apache2-bin 2.4.10-5 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I upgraded my server a few days ago by installing a virgin copy of Debian
"jessie" from scratch, and then copied over the configurations from the
