What Steps are needed to set up Apache2 to utilize multiple “cgi-bin”

  • 772

Currently My /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf looks like this:

DocumentRoot /var/www/htm
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>

I have multiple Domains that I want to access Port 80 on my Nas. On my Qnap Each Domain has its own folder titled “domain. com” with “.htaccess”, numerous “.html” containing <!—#exec cgi, <!--#include virtual, and each contain its own “cgi-bin" directory.

Could someone show me what my “.000-default.conf” should look like to accomplish my goals? Thanks!

    Rather than put everything in one config file, consider having each of your domains in their own .conf file. This will allow you specify more than just which CGI-bin is used.

    For example:

    Site Config File
    example.com /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-example-com.conf
    secondary.com /etc/apache2/sites-available/001-secondary-com.conf
    tertiary.com /etc/apache2/sites-available/002-tertiary-com.conf
    default.com /etc/apache2/sites-available/999-default-com.conf

    You can enable (or disable) each of the sites with a2ensite, like:

    sudo a2ensite 002-tertiary-com.conf`

    This keeps everything separated and "clean". The 999-default is a "catch all" for Apache to use if web traffic goes to the server for a domain that is not explicitly defined. You can use a ServerAlias line in the .conf file to achieve this.

    With this sort of setup, each of your .conf files might look something like this:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/example/public
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example-error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/example-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /var/www/example.com/public>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All

        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow From All
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
         Options +ExecCGI
         AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
         Options FollowSymLinks
         Require all granted
</Directory>

    Note: Be sure to replace the values for the site as you need, including the references to the different cgi-bin locations.

    This should give you the specificity (and flexibility) you need to have multiple domains use different versions of software.
