check virtualhost issue that not allow to run CGI script

I have an apache webserver that run smoothly with the pre-installation
and basic configuration for it to allow to run CGI script. However the
problem exists with VirtualHost that I try to run the cgi script that
the only message I can see is 500 Error, which say the the Internal
Apache configuration is error.


ServerName www.test1.cgi
ServerAdmin testsupport@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/
DirectoryIndex support.cgi

Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl



when I try to go to the site www.test1.cgi it says the 500 Error..
It seems everythings according to the configuration to allow to run
CGI script, I follows extractly some httpd.conf that previously posted
in this forum.

Thank

Have you tried www.test1.cgi/

When you have a trailing / on DocumentRoot it may require it on the URL.
And how does your machine resolve www.test1.cgi? Is that a hosts file
entry on your local machine?

But like Davide says...What is in the error_log?

I look at the error_log and the error all about the permission of the /
usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/

when I modify the httpd.conf below


ServerName www.test1.cgi
ServerAdmin testsupp...@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/

#modify part
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/


Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl



www.test1.cgi/cgi-bin/test1.pl

it display the main configurate that placed in /var/html/cgi-bin/
test1.pl
it isn't display the /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support

the server should display test1.pl in this directory
/usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/test1.pl
www.test1.cgi/cgi-bin/test1.pl

but anyhow it displays the test1.pl in the following directory instead
/var/html/cgi-bin/test1.pl
www.test1.cgi/cgi-bin/test1.pl

DirectoryIndex support.cgi

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/

Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl




the server should able to serve the following request from the browser

www.test1.cgi
/usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/support.cgi


www.test1.cgi/cgi-bin/test1.pl
/usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/test1.pl

but it simply displays error, all the files is chmod 755 permission

Ok, I see a couple of way non conventional things that may be
complicating things. These are just suggestions to make based on
simplifying the configuration in order to more easily troubleshoot the
config. Making the changes here may or may not fix your problem.

www.test1.cgi ---- Doesn't anyone use .com addresses any more? I'm not
saying that this would not work as long as your client machine can
resolve the address, but the .cgi TLD is confusing to see when you are
trying to debug .cgi files. I'd change it to a .com address for the
server name.

DocumentRoot /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/
According to the apache documentation the root directory *should* be
specified without a trailing /. This might cause it to not work at all.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support/
By making your DocumentRoot a ScriptAlias you are restricting the
directory to the point where normal files cannot be served from there. If
you want a script alias it should be in a directory above your directory
root. Why do you want to alias it if it is your document root?

Be sure that you do not have a ScriptAlias in your main server
configuration that might interfere with other scripting.

This is what I might do to debug this....


# changed the following line
ServerName www.test1.com
ServerAdmin testsupp...@gmail.com
# changed the following line by removing the trailing /
DocumentRoot /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support

# changed the following line
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/cgi-bin


Options ExecCGI
# the following line should already be in the main section
# you might be able to remove it.
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl




Then, put an entry into your client machines hosts file:
192.167.1.1 www.test1.com

Then, put a "Hello World" html file in the directory at
/usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/htdocs/support
See if it will serve that html file. If so then you can proceed.

Then, pur a "Hello World" script in
/usr/www/vhosts/supporttest.com/cgi-bin
See if it will serve that script. If so then I think your problem is
solved. If not then see what the error_log says now.

Thank you Mark,

I have tried all the methods that mention in the books, your method,
and also I looked for the tutorial online about VirtualHost, I think
my VirtualHost is working, however it isn't allow me to display the
CGI-script as now I test a directory that has cgi script within it.
The only I can see is Error 403 the file.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.

I do link to the cgi-bin/billtest.cgi

It is mention in the posted in the forum, I also follow but it still
doesn't working accordingly

Do you think it is my Apache installation problem? I used default
