Check your apache's log to see what goes wrong... tail -f /var/log/apache/errors.log
then restart your apache (using a different term window) and watch what goes in your errors.log. If you don't find anything useful during restart of apache - then see what happens when you access the directory with your mozilla. Also, make sure that the directory in question is registered in your httpd.conf (<Directory> directive)... make sure you have the modules, and apache knows about them... for example, you might need to add the following line to your httpd.conf: AddModule mod_dir.c and then restart your apache. After the modules have been loaded, you can simply comment out the above line from your httpd.conf file. The same applies to your cgi. :P On Wed, Dec 11, 2002 at 07:08:37AM -0700, eric lin wrote: > pasha wrote: > >You should be modifying /etc/apache/httpd.conf (unless you have built the > >source by hand - then: find /etc -iname "httpd.conf") > > > >According to the documentation for apache 1.3 - you should be loading > >mod_dir module somewhere in your httpd.conf (usually it is already > >included, > >but could be commented out - in which case you should uncomment the line; > >otherwise, this is the line from my httpd.conf: > > > >LoadModule dir_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_dir.so > > > >then, somewhere in your httpd.conf you should also include the following > >lines: > > > ><IfModule mod_dir.c> > > DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi > ></IfModule> > > > >This 'should do the trick'. > > although thanks your advice, but after I modify(adding that 3 lines) my > /etc/apache/httpd.conf > then reboot > open mozilla 1.2.1-3 newest from debian upgrade of unstable, type in > http://www.linuxspice.com/checkout > it still a piece of white > but if you click my wite's bottom's hyperlink checkout, it do can show > the content I edit in my /var/www/checkout/index.html > please help again or any linuxer's advice > sincere Eric > > > > > >As far as your cgi's are concerned, debianized system would often keep its > >cgi scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin - but you should make sure that your > >httpd.conf has appropriate entries for cgi's: > > > >LoadModule cgi_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_cgi.so > > > >ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ > > > ><Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/> > > AllowOverride None > > Options ExecCGI > > Order allow,deny > > Allow from all > ></Directory> > > > >[these lines were taken from the default httpd.conf supplied with debian's > >apache package] > > > >Hope this helps... if you are having problems with cgi's in apache, you > >should read over the following: > >http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_cgi.html > > > >:P > > > >On Wed, Dec 11, 2002 at 04:51:50AM -0700, eric lin wrote: > > > >>but what exact command i should use or what file I should modify/ I > >>search whole my disk only > >> > >>www:/# find . | grep mod_dir > >>/usr/share/doc/apache/manual/mod/mod_dir.html.en > >>/usr/share/doc/apache/manual/mod/mod_dir.html.html > >>/usr/share/doc/apache/manual/mod/mod_dir.html.ja.jis > >>/usr/lib/apache/1.3/110mod_dir.info > >>/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_dir.so > >>www:/# cd /var/www > >>www:/var/www# DirectoryIndex index.html /cgi-bin/index.pl > >>bash: DirectoryIndex: command not found > >>www:/var/www# > >> > >>/usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_dir.so related > >> > >>also I have a source code line is > >> > >><form method="post" enctype="text/plain" > >>section="http://www.linuxspice.com/cgi-bin/entrance.cgi"; > > >> > >>in my websource, should I create a directory cgi-bin and create a file > >>name entrance.cgi in that dir in /var/www? > >> > >> > >>highly apprecaite your help on this issue > >> > >>pasha wrote: > >> > >>>Have you tried specifying a 'DirectoryIndex' directive? > >>> > >>>For info, go to: > >>>http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex > >>> > >>>:P > >>> > >>>On Wed, Dec 11, 2002 at 03:12:32AM -0700, eric lin wrote: > >>> > >>> > >>>>Dear Linuxer: > >>>> > >>>>I also have a webserver and website question, I create a directory > >>>>checkout in my /var/www which contain index.html itself > >>>>but if I type in any browser > >>>>http;//www.myregistereddomain.com/checkout > >>>> > >>>>it did not show the content in my /var/www/checkout/index.html > >>>> > >>>>please help > >>>>-- > >>>>Sincere Eric > >>>>www.linuxspice.com > >>>>linux pc for sale > >>> > >>> > >>> > >> > >>-- > >>Sincere Eric > >>www.linuxspice.com > >>linux pc for sale > > > > > > > > > -- > Sincere Eric > www.linuxspice.com > linux pc for sale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
