Apache Error: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory

0 votes
1,565 views

with my python script running, but I always get a 403-Error. And apache logfile says:

Options ExecCGI is off in this directory:/home/user12/cgi-bin/showblogs.py

apache configuration:

AllowOverride None
AddType application/python .py
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.py
Options +ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

So what is missing or wrong here?

If it's the 2.4 must change "allow from all" to "Require all granted".

How to allow a directory and don't allow a sub-directory in Apache?

I want to allow a directory " /var/www/html/ldap" to two users according to IPs (192.168.1.2 192.168.1.7):

 Order allow,deny
 Allow from 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.7
 Satisfy any
 AuthName "LDAP Authentication"
 AuthType Basic

 AuthBasicProvider ldap
 AuthzLDAPauthoritative off
 AuthLDAPURL ldap://192.168.1.3/dc=example,dc=com?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)
 Require valid-user

but I don't want to allow a sub directory to 192.168.1.7 (I want it to be allowed only to 192.168.1.2):

I have tried to add:

 Order allow,deny
 Allow from 192.168.1.2
 Satisfy any
 AuthName "LDAP Authentication"
 AuthType Basic

 AuthBasicProvider ldap
 AuthzLDAPauthoritative off
 AuthLDAPURL ldap://192.168.1.3/dc=example,dc=com?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)
 Require valid-user

but it seems that 192.168.1.7 can reach to manager directory because it is a part of ldap directory, how can I forbid this?

Why Apache/Tomcat (by default) does not allow symbolic linking except in top apache/lib directory?

Apache/Tomcat (by default) does not allow symbolic linking (nice as it can cross mounted file systems) except in the top apache/lib directory. I use hard links in the Application/WEB-INF/lib directories to reduce copying and help me manage things.

HOWEVER, some applications have special needs - e.g. pictures. You don't want to always distribute these with the release of the application (Application.war file), so symbolic links are the way to go (except for MS land, sorry). The nice solution to this is:

.../webapps/Application/WEB-INF/context.xml
which must contain at least the two below lines:

However this allows ALL symbolic linking in the Application directory. I agree with the developers that this is dangerous.

Is there some way to allow linking in just ONE sub-directory of the Application?
- e.g. .../webapps/Application/images

This would allow all I need to have local images for the application without endangering other things using a symbolic link.
