To use aptitude you need aptitude installed, if not just use apt-get

The default page of the Apache2 is available on entire LAN member PC’s with the URL address http://192.168.1.125.

We have installed Web with default directories as explained in your tutorial http://www.webmo.net/support/installation.html

Anyone know of a step-by-step that will work?

What and where is the,”site configuration file.”?

I’m sure it’s a version thing but my www directory is /var/www not /home/www.

This page wouldn’t exist if the apache page explanation wasn’t just as bad. I’ve tried a few different ways to get this to work.

I have lot’s of scripts that I would like to execute from an html document. Apache is installed and working, what next? All I can get it to do is try to download the file/bash script. Any help would be good, specific help would be great.

Thanks All.

With apache 2 and Ubuntu 10.4 the sites-enabled file already includes the

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

and there is a usr/lib/cgi-bin DIR where I added the perl script and ran it..

Then I had to look to see that the numbers were part of the script !

Great Thread! Thanks!

Hi, I followed your instruction in the cgi section (or at least I believe I did), but my browser keeps wanting to download the pl file instead of executing it. I’ve had the same problem with other binary files too. Please help
