Code Igniter blocking access to /cgi-bin - El Forum - 03-12-2008

again, not working...

I really don't know what's up... maybe it's a problem with my host (hostgator)?

Hmmm. I'll give it a go. Actually, might as well right now since I'll probably forget later.

Edit: I can't right now, because my host does things a little differently ... They don't actually have a cgi-bin. Kinda funky.

Well, let's think about this. Basically the only thing that sets cgi-bin apart from other directories is that it has ExecCGI enabled on it (which enables perl/python/ruby/etc.), right?

I've looked at the httpd.conf file on my dedicated server (WHM) and I think this might be the problem:

Quote:<Directory "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Maybe the AllowOverride None has something to do with it, but I dont think so since I commented it out and restarted apache and didnt changed a thing. I also try AllowOverride all, didnt worked either.

Please someone help us with that...I badly need to get it working!

Okay, I setup a quick environment on my local machine, but it is running Windows.

So, here's what the directory structure looks like.

Code:
vhosts/local.michealcottingham.com/

- logs/

- www/

   - <public content>

- ci/

   - <the ci system dir>

   - <the ci application dir>

- cgi-bin/

   - <perl/etc. files>

Simple enough.

Here's my relevant Apache config:

Code:

# local.michealcottingham.com

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

    ServerAdmin [email protected]

    DocumentRoot C:/xampp/vhosts/local.michealcottingham.com/www/

    ServerName local.michealcottingham.com

    ServerAlias local.michealcottingham.com www.local.michealcottingham.com

    ErrorLog C:/xampp/vhosts/local.michealcottingham.com/logs/error.log

    CustomLog C:/xampp/vhosts/local.michealcottingham.com/logs/access.log combined



    <Directory "C:/xampp/vhosts/local.michealcottingham.com/cgi-bin">

        AllowOverride None

        Options ExecCGI

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Here's my .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/community

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/templates

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blaze

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

And cgi-bin works. o_O

Ah ha! Found a misconfiguration in my setup (not sure how it was working, but eh). I'm now able to reproduce the problem.

[eluser]Techie-Micheal[/eluser]
And now it works. I'm too tired. I'm not sure what I've done. Tongue

I'll try and take a look at it again tomorrow.

I came with the same issue on a webserver. I solved it using a rule before all my rewrite conditions:

Code:
ErrorDocument 401 index.php

This is originally a wordpress issue too, you can see here:
