Description Need Real Name 2001-07-08 01:21:48 UTC
Description of Problem: Unable to enable CGI scripts in /home/*/public_html
using existing directions.


How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uncomment <Directory /home/*/public_html> lines
2. Add ExecCGI to Options list
3. Uncomment AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
4. Create simple ksh script, test script in /var/www/cgi-bin for
correctness
5. Make sure that full /home/*/public_html path is set to mermissions 755
6. May have forgotten a step here, but see diff comments below where I
diffed operational 6.2 and 7.1 configuration files.

Actual Results:
error_log has Premature end of script headers:, but CGI script file was not
accessed

Expected Results:
Cgi script executed.


Additional Information:

Actually, the configuration was ported from the previous 6.2 install to the
upgraded 7.1. All files and directories in the /home/<user>/public_html
were not changed between 6.2 and 7.1. Diffs between the 6.2 and 7.1
httpd.conf were checked for errors in configuration. The ksh test script
does work in 7.2 /var/www/cgi-bin directory. The 7.2 public_html
configuration is otherwise fully operational.

Probably a configuration mistake at your end. Anything logged in
/var/log/httpd/suexec_log? Also have a look at Apache Manual:
FAQ.html#premature-script-headers

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2001-07-11 11:43:21 UTC
After looking at suexec_log, my login and exe file gids did not match, Thanks

Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2001-07-23 12:57:23 UTC
ok, seems to be fixed
