Apache Web Server and CGI Script Error

Andrew Shearer

2004-03-15, 10:33 am

I am trying to get cgi script to work on Apache Web Server 1.3.27 on
Novell Netware 6.0 Server. I have a html form created that calls the
cgi script which takes the information and prints it out to a screen
or email. I know my script works because I put it on an IIS server on
my Windows XP machine and everything worked fine like it was supposed
to. I bring up the html page and type in the information and then
click on submit. When I do that it gives me the following error
message:

"Forbidden: You don't have permission to access
/cgi-bin/testissue.pl on this server."

I have looked throught the httpd.conf file and made the proper changes
to make PERL work however there must be something I am missing in the
file or on the Novell Netware side. Below is my config file for
anyone who wishes to take a look. Any ideas on what I may be missing
with setting up PERL on Netware or on the Apache config end would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time and efforts.

--------------------------------------------
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob
McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are
unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# After this file is processed, the server will look for and process
# sys:/apache/conf/srm.conf and then sys:/apache/conf/access.conf
# unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or
# AccessConfig directives here.
#
# The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
# 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server
process as a
# whole (the 'global environment').
# 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default'
server,
# which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual
host.
# These directives also provide default values for the settings
# of all virtual hosts.
# 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent
to
# different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
# same Apache server process.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for
many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32
and
# sys:/ for NetWare), the server will use that explicit path. If the
# filenames do *not* begin with "/", the value of ServerRoot is
prepended
# -- so "logs/foo.log" with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local/apache"
will be
# interpreted by the server as "/usr/local/apache/logs/foo.log".
#

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of
Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#

#
# ServerType is either inetd, or standalone. Inetd mode is only
supported on
# Unix platforms.
#
ServerType standalone

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# NOTE! If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
# mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation
# (available at <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile> );
# you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
#
ServerRoot "clweb:/apache"

#
# PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
# identification number when it starts.
#
PidFile logs/httpd.pid

#
# ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process
information.
# Not all architectures require this. But if yours does (you'll know
because
# this file will be created when you run Apache) then you *must*
ensure that
# no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file.
#
ScoreBoardFile logs/apache_status

#
# In the standard configuration, the server will process this file,
# srm.conf, and access.conf in that order. The latter two files are
# now distributed empty, as it is recommended that all directives
# be kept in a single file for simplicity. The commented-out values
# below are the built-in defaults. You can have the server ignore
# these files altogether by using "/dev/null" (for Unix) or
# "nul" (for Win32) for the arguments to the directives.
#
#ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf
#AccessConfig conf/access.conf

#
# Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
#
Timeout 300

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive On

#
# MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
# during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited
amount.
# We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
#
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

#
# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request
from the
# same client on the same connection.
#
KeepAliveTimeout 15

#
# Number of concurrent threads (i.e., requests) the server will allow.
# Set this value according to the responsiveness of the server (more
# requests active at once means they're all handled more slowly) and
# the amount of system resources you'll allow the server to consume.
#
ThreadsPerChild 50

#
# When NetWare creates a thread you need to specify the stack size.
# You may need to increase this if you get stack overflows.
# ThreadStackSize 65536

ThreadStackSize 65536

#
# MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
# allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
# as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
# libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems,
this
# isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable
leaks
# in the libraries. For these platforms, set to something like 10000
# or so; a setting of 0 means unlimited.
#
# NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the
initial
# request per connection. For example, if a child process
handles
# an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
# would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
#
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
#Listen 80

#set listen for inside (intranet) address:port
Listen 10.194.192.243:80

#set listen for outside (public) address:port
Listen 24.104.26.11:80

#set listen for troubledesk address:port
Listen 10.194.192.246:80

#set listen for webboard external address:port
Listen 10.194.192.16:80

#
# BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This
directive
# is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can
either
# contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain
name.
# See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives.
#
#BindAddress *

#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a
DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so
the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are
used.
# Please read the file README.DSO in the Apache 1.3 distribution for
more
# details about the DSO mechanism and run `httpd -l' for the list of
already
# built-in (statically linked and thus always available) modules in
your httpd
# binary.
#
# Note: The order is which modules are loaded is important. Don't
change
# the order below without expert advice.

# LoadModule anon_auth_module modules/authanon.nlm
# LoadModule cern_meta_module modules/cernmeta.nlm
# LoadModule digest_module modules/digest.nlm

#
# ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate "full" status
# information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information
(ExtendedStatus
# Off) when the "server-status" handler is called. The default is Off.
#
#ExtendedStatus On

### Section 2: 'Main' server configuration
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#

#
# Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. For
# ports < 1023, you will need httpd to be run as root initially.
#
Port 80

#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed. This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.
#
ServerAdmin districtsysop@wyasd.k12.pa.us
#
# ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to
clients for
# your server if it's different than the one the program would get
(i.e., use
# "www" instead of the host's real name).
#
# Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name
you
# define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't
understand
# this, ask your network administrator.
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP
address here.
# You will have to access it by its address (e.g.,
http://123.45.67.89/)
# anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way.
#
ServerName 10.194.192.243

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory,
but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "clweb:/web/internal"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with
respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# permissions.

#
# AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory
# for access control information.
#
AccessFileName .htaccess

#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess files from being viewed by
# Web clients. Since .htaccess files often contain authorization
# information, access is disallowed for security reasons. Comment
# these lines out if you want Web visitors to see the contents of
# .htaccess files. If you change the AccessFileName directive above,
# be sure to make the corresponding changes here.
#
# Also, folks tend to use names such as .htpasswd for password
# files, so this will protect those as well.
#
<Files ~ "^\.htaccess">

#
# CacheNegotiatedDocs: By default, Apache sends "Pragma: no-cache"
with each
# document that was negotiated on the basis of content. This asks
proxy
# servers not to cache the document. Uncommenting the following line
disables
# this behavior, and proxies will be allowed to cache the documents.
#
#CacheNegotiatedDocs

#
# UseCanonicalName: (new for 1.3) With this setting turned on,
whenever
# Apache needs to construct a self-referencing URL (a URL that refers
back
# to the server the response is coming from) it will use ServerName
and
# Port to form a "canonical" name. With this setting off, Apache will
# use the hostname:port that the client supplied, when possible. This
# also affects SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGI scripts.
#

#
# TypesConfig describes where the mime.types file (or equivalent) is
# to be found.
#

</IfModule>

#
# DefaultType is the default MIME type the server will use for a
document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename
extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain"
is
# a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as
applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/plain

#
# The mod_mime_magic module allows the server to use various hints
from the
# contents of the file itself to determine its type. The
MIMEMagicFile
# directive tells the module where the hint definitions are located.
# mod_mime_magic is not part of the default server (you have to add
# it yourself with a LoadModule [see the DSO paragraph in the 'Global
# Environment' section], or recompile the server and include
mod_mime_magic
# as part of the configuration), so it's enclosed in an <IfModule>
container.
# This means that the MIMEMagicFile directive will only be processed
if the
# module is part of the server.

#
# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
# e.g., www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if
people
# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to
the
# nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups Off

#
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a
<VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.

#
# If you prefer a single logfile with access, agent, and referer

# (Combined Logfile Format) you can use the following directive.
#
#CustomLog logs/access_log combined

#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (error documents, FTP directory

### Section 3: Virtual Hosts
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on
your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them.
# Please see the documentation at
<URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
# least one IP address (and port number) for them.
#
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#
#<VirtualHost ip.address.of.host.some_domain.com>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
# ServerName host.some_domain.com
# ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

#<VirtualHost _default_:*>
#</VirtualHost>

#
# SecureListen is the same as the Listen directive only it
# ensures the port will be secure. The second parameter
# specifies the certificate to use. "SSL CertificateIP" is
# the default.

I'm not an Apache configuration expert, but that ScriptAlias
directive looks wrong, according to the documentation I have.
It should be

ScriptAlias URLpath directory

where URLpath is the beginning portion of a Request-URI's abs_path,
without a trailing slash (again, that's per the book I'm looking at,
which may not be precise or current), and directory is the absolute
path to the directory URLpath will be translated to. So that
presumably should be:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin clweb:/web/techdept/trbldesk/cgi-bin

Also, your LCGIModuleMap's first parameter uses backslashes, not
forward slashes. That looks wrong, too.

Here you're redefining this ScriptAlias. Is mod_alias loaded?
If so, I think you only want one ScriptAlias directive; at any
rate, if you keep this one, it appears to need the same fixes
as the previous one.

Actually, you appear to have several ScriptAlias directives for
/cgi-bin in this file. I think it needs some serious cleaning.

It's like being shot at in an airport with all those guys running
around throwing hand grenades. Certain people function better with
hand grenades coming from all sides than other people do when the
hand grenades are only coming from inside out.

Thanks!! Everything is working now, I took out the trailing slashes
and cleaned up all the ScriptAliases I had and that seemed to do the
job.
