cgi-bin not found from http

**tiggerific** · 09-21-2004 09:14 PM

Hi all, I'm hoping someone is able to help. I have one account out of about 40 that were transferred to a new VPS that is having a cgi-bin problem.

I can view the contents of the cgi-bin folder from FTP, from the cpanel File Manager, from SSH in the directory listings, etc. But If I http://domain.com/cgi-bin/ it always reports "Page not found". I'm sure there's an alias or something missing somewhere but I honestly can't find it.

Anyone got any ideas?

PS: I'm fairly new to SSH commands, so if you offer some help, could you please put the "whole" command

Thanks.

Robyn.

the cgi-bin seems not copied. Try creating a cgi-bin folder in any of the domain and check.

Thanks, but as I said, the cgi-bin folder is there in the /HOME/USERNAME directory. In fact, I can even FTP files to it, and view it fine from the file manager within cPanel. What I can't do is display any of the files or folders within it using a http: request. For example, the file admin.cgi is in the ADMIN folder of the CGI-BIN. But when I go to http://domain.com/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi I get a Page Not Found error. Not a 500 error, just a regular 404. And it's definitely there. So if there's any other ideas would be much appreciated.

well.. it should be inside: /home/username/public_html folder and NOT /home/username/.

Sorry I was just trying to do a quick reply and wasn't thinking clearly. What I'm trying to say is the folder already exists.

It is in /HOME/USERNAME/PUBLIC_HTML/CGI-BIN.

The point is, I can't view it from the web, but I can from everywhere else. And my other 48 accounts do not have this problem.

Are you missing the script alias line in httpd.conf?

**linux-image** · 09-23-2004 02:38 AM

but casey; even then shouldn't it show the cgi-bin folder if taken as http://domainname.com/cgi-bin/
just taking it as a folder under the public_html folder

I don't know. I'm too lazy to check.

I think if you have Options -ExecCGI in the virtualhost that might cause this behavior, too.
