[cgiwrap-users] a virualhost scenario

[k.s.guleesh <k.s...@go...>]

Hi , 
I have rolled my own cgiwrap config but I'm stumped at this point.


I have configured a virtual host with
ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/  /admin/public_html/cgi-bin/

and I have built the cgiwrap binary into /admin/public_html/cgi-bin/
(I only want that virtual host to have access to it).



Here's my cgiwrap output -

*****************
* CGIWrap Error *
*****************

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 mapped root to that folder via the cgiwrap.userdir config so I'm imagining it is perhaps to do with directory permissions which are all 755 
I remember coming across some docs somewhere that explained the permission checking process but I can't seem to find it now that I need it.

for completeness here are the ./configure options I used
        ./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man \
        --infodir=/usr/share/info \
        --with-install-group=www-data --with-install-user=root  \
        --with-local-doc-url=/doc/cgiwrap \
        --with-cgi-dir=public_html/cgi-bin --with-httpd-user=www-data \
        --with-minimum-uid=0 \
        --with-logging-file=/var/log/cgiwrap.log \
        --with-allow-file=/etc/cgiwrap/cgiwrap.allow \
        --with-deny-file=/etc/cgiwrap/cgiwrap.deny \
        --with-host-checking --with-check-shell \
        --with-rewrite=/etc/cgiwrap/cgiwrap.userdir \
        --with-quiet-errors \
        --with-install-dir=/admin/public_html/cgi-bin

Any ideas ?
Cheers
