Title: Webcalng install
Post by: ajkeane on March 03, 2007, 11:21:11 AM

Hi

I am attempting to install webcalng in the opt directory.

I already have it running in an Ibay but want to install it correctly.

I have created a directory in opt called webcal and a directory in webcal called cbi-bin.

I have then installed the ap into the cgi-bin directory.

I have created a custom template and expanded it but the perl script does not run.

This is what I have in the template.

# webcal
Alias /webcal /opt/webcal/cgi-bin
<Directory /opt/webcal/cgi-bin>
    SSLRequireSSL on
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride Authconfig
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    Satisfy all
</Directory>

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Tony

First of all make cgi-bin dir executable (777)
Try

Code: [Select]

   Alias /webcal "/opt/webcal"
    ScriptAlias /webcal/cgi-bin/ "/opt/webcal/cgi-bin/"

<Directory /opt/webcal>
    AllowOverride All

    Options MultiViews Indexes FollowSymLinks
    IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* SuppressSize SuppressLastModified

</Directory>

# Enable CGI execution for cgi-bin directory.  This is probably not
# necessary if the above ScriptAlias directive is used.
#<Directory /opt/webcal/cgi-bin>
#    Options +ExecCGI
#    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
#        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#    </IfModule>
#</Directory>

Firstly thank you for the assistance.

I have loaded your altered config and this has not helped.

When I try to execute the script I am still just seeing the code from the script.

Any further assistance will be appreciated.

Tony

Try uncomment these lines.


From:

#    Options +ExecCGI
#    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
#        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
#    </IfModule>
#</Directory>


To:

    Options +ExecCGI

I have tried that and then checked the httpd error logs I am getting the following back.

[Sun Mar 04 11:52:35 2007] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 1636 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.

I cannot access the server manager unless I remove the custom template when it has the modification you have suggested.

I get 403 forbidden errors in the browser.

Thanks

Please, create a dir /opt/webcal

Then install using perl install.pl under this directory, not under /cgi-bin/

when finish create a custom template, expand, and restart apache.

Code: [Select]

Alias /webcal  /opt/webcal
<Directory /opt/webcal>
    Options +ExecCGI +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    SetHandler cgi-script
    allow from all
</Directory>


Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart

Then create a symlink for webcalng.pl named index.pl

When finish go to your domain/webcal/index.pl

You can investigate to go directly to /webcal only, and get /webcal/index.pl
Apache has a directive named DirectoryIndex.
Anyway, I have installed and run ok. I post the main part of my install.log to help you.

Code: [Select]
