Title: perl scripts in webserver
Post by: ulat on October 24, 2012, 04:51:11 pm

Hi!
I tried zu execute a cgi file on the apache webserver, yet it doesn't execute the script. Instead it shows only the source-code? Any idea why?
Thanks!

Yes, I did....

But I found that apache2 overwrites the httpd.conf file every time it is restartet.... So the Directory tag is overwritten....

Where do I put this tag in zentyal webserver?

<Directory /var/www/bugzilla>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
AllowOverride Limit FileInfo Indexes Options
</Directory>

Indeed this is described here (http://doc.zentyal.org/en/develop.html#advanced-service-customisation).
