[cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Brian L. <Bri...@su...>]

CGIWrap users,

I've been using an old version of CGI Wrap on an old Linux box with Apache
for 5 years. Recently this box bit the dust and I've built a new box with
Apache 1.3.24 and CGI Wrap 3.7.1. I've compiled the CGIWrap on Linux with
GCC using the -with-httpd-user=nobody option since my Apache server is
running as user:nobody, group:nobody (the default configuration).

I'm running a number of websites on Apache using the name-based virtual host
method. In my <Virtualhost> directive I've specified the following (this is
how my old server was configured):

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www/domainname.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/nobody/

When I try to run the printenv CGI script included with Apache in the
/www/domainname.com/cgi-bin directory, I get the error, "CGIWrap Error:
Script dir not found".

The /www/domainname.com/cgi-bin directory is owner and group "nobody" with
the drwxr-xr-x permissions.

Is this enough information for someone to be able to tell me why I am
receiving this error?

[cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Daniel N. <dr...@gm...>]

Hi,
 
Just do get sure: There is no need to have the script itself in a
special directoy, is it?
 
I get an: 
 
CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found
 
The specified user does not have a script directory set up for execution
of cgi scripts, or the directory permissions prevent cgiwrap from using
that directory.

hi,

> CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

First you have to understand how CGIWRAP builds the "script dir": CGIWRAP
gets the home-directory, as specified in /etc/passwd and then adds whatever
you specified with --with-cgi-dir. In your example the user's home directory
therefore has to be "/var/chroot/_nossh/k060881/". Can you confirm this?

Furthermore, you should try a "cgiwrapD" output and have a closer look at it.

I forgot to mention: The PHP-Patch for cgiwrap is *not* supported by
the cgiwrap development team. You might want to check out first, whether
an "ordinary" CGI-Script works or not.

[cgiwrap-users] CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

[Justin D. <jui...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I am having problems getting my simple env.cgi scripts to run under
cgiwrap-4.0/Solaris10/Apache-1.3.37. The scripts error out each time
with the following message:

CGIWrap Error: Script dir not found

The specified user does not have a script directory set up for
execution of cgi scripts, or the directory permissions prevent cgiwrap
from using that directory.

Now I did specify the --with-cgi-dir= variable at the time of
compilation, I assume that this is the "Script dir" that the error
refers to. In addition, this directory does have the proper
permissions for CGIWrap. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Which are?  Are they the right permissions for the http server, or  
the user?
