Indeed. Here is a summary:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
...
NameVirtualHost 192.168.9.21:80
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80
...
<VirtualHost 192.168.9.21:80>
<Location />
Order allow,deny
# Allow from All
Deny from all
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.9.21:80 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName new.rosemike.net
Options -All SymLinksIfOwnerMatch ExecCGI
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/www"
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions Inherit
...
RewriteRule ^/$ - [L]
...
</VirtualHost>
All access attempts are with http://new.rosemike.net/
with that name appropriately defined in hosts files, as
verified by ping.
Now run as shown, the client gets:
"You don't have permission to access / on this server."
If you comment out the first VirtualHost block:
you get the same thing
If you then add to the second virtual host block:
<Location />
Allow from All
</Location>
you get:
"You don't have permission to access /index.cgi on this server."
(note that there are links to index.cgi in all directories.)
if you comment out Servername
nothing changes
If you now expose the first VirtualHost block and change to
Allow from All
Deny from None
you get the page displayed, but not via the CGI, as verified
by absence debug text the CGI would have added, as well as
nothing in a log the CGI writes.
Well, you asked. BTW, I emphasize that this configuration works
well on Fedora, which you can see at www.rosemike.net .
Thanks for your interest.
Mike.
