Apache cgi-bin trouble

injijagwalaafq · 09-28-2015, 03:00 PM

I am having more issues with my folding cd project. See THIS THREAD.

I followed this guide to enable GCI and installed MOD_CGI. The test script works.

The issue now sees be have to do with the Apache web server configuration and or file permissions. when clicking submit on the page I get a 500 internal server error.

Hi again.

Did you copy the "fold.iso" file from "foldingathome/initrd_dir/etc/folding/cgi-bin" to "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"? It is a shell script that your webserver should execute.

Make install_web failed on my box, but it looks like you have a hosted account so make install won't work anyway.

I got it to work on my local server by copying all of the files in "foldingathome/initrd_dir/etc/folding/cgi-bin" to /usr/lib/cgi-bin:

Code:

cp foldingathome/initrd_dir/etc/folding/cgi-bin/* /usr/lib/cgi-bin

HTH

I'll do that as sood an I get everything rebuilt a slight meltdown last night. Thanks.

Sometimes I am a bigger idiot than usual.

It works. Up and running. Yahoo! I've been trying to get this thing operational for (literally) year.

Many Thanks!!

You're welcome!

I haven't burned a cd and tried to run it but it looks like you need one more file in /usr/lib/cgi-bin.

Code:

cp foldingathome/boot/initrd /usr/lib/cgi-bin

I downloaded an iso from your site and the file is empty:

Code:

/mnt/isolinux# ll
total 5114
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root    2048 Sep 29 19:36 boot.cat
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root     179 Sep 29 19:36 fold.txt
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root      20 Sep 29 19:36 initrd
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root   40960 Sep 29 19:36 isolinux.bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root     613 Sep 29 19:36 isolinux.cfg

Here is a directory list from a local iso:
