Look at the repository for the source version, then look at how
they built apache and make sure you built the same
You mean how the stock FC10 was built? Considering I am using "the"
apache manual, I would hope this does not matter w/r/t to an incredibly
basic issue: my cgi-bin files cannot write to anywhere. Also, I prefer
to learn to use and understand apache rather than trying to just
replicate a single scenario which, evidently, I do not understand. I
should be able to run httpd and have the cgi scripts read/write files.
I do not believe that is an "optional" feature of a web server.
So I will pick option B:
B: (slowest)
1/ paste how you built apache in here
2/ include relevant sections of httpd.conf
else its just a time wasting guessing game :)
1) ./configure
make
make check -- there is no check
make test -- there is no test
make install (everything seems ok!)
2) <Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I suppose that is insecure, but I am just using this on my desktop.
Again, SELinux is disabled.
Taking it from here, and one tiny step at a time.
(Sorry to be httpd-101 kind of level, but it pays to be really systematic)
As which user is Apache running ? (supposing it is running).
You can check for User and Group directives in httpd.conf, or just do a
"ps -ef | grep apache" (or grep httpd)
There should be one "main" process running as root, and the children
running as the real effective userid. That's the one which counts.
Then check if the directory /var/www/html (at the filesystem level) is
really readable/writeable by this user (or wherever else your cgi-bin is
supposed to read/write).
Login as root, do an "su - (the apache children's userid)", go wherever
and try a "touch somefile".
