Title: Virtual host cgi-bin bug
Post by: John Mackenzie on December 26, 2003, 09:09:05 AM

SME 5.5 had a virtual host cgi-bin bug whereby the primary domain cgi-bin worked, but virtual domain cgi-bins were not configured correctly and did not work.  This bug was fixed by an update and version 5.6 .

However, I have upgraded to SME 6.0 and this virtual host cgi-bin bug seems to be back ... My primary domain cgi-bin is working, but my virtual domain cgi-bin is not - the ibay has dynamic content (cgi, php, ssi) enabled and all permissions are liberally set.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem, or have I stuffed up somewhere ?

Hi John,

Anything in the logfiles? (messages, httpd logs)

Thanks for your suggestion.

From httpd/error_log
[Fri Dec 26 21:39:12 2003] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ohafc/cgi-bin/npublisher/config.cgi failed
[Fri Dec 26 21:39:12 2003] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] Premature end of script headers: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ohafc/cgi-bin/npublisher/config.cgi

This and other logs don't seem to help.

I think I'll try installing some other cgi-bin scripts into the virtual domain cgi-bin and see if these run.

in most cases (if its an CGI) the files are broken (maybe ftp´ed as bin) or similar things. Add the "ScriptLog filename" to you Virtual Host directive, and you should get more information about the error.

This has nothing to do with the server, and everything to do with the contents
of this config.cgi. I assure you that Virtual Hosts, and their cgi-bin
directories, work fine on 6.0. I'm using them myself.
