RE: Apache2 on Debian "ScriptAlias" Directives
Thanks Matus,
I really appreciate the reply to my post and the recommendations you have
given me. The Manhattan Virtual Classroom configuration apparently needs
this ScriptAlias Directive because of the way it "writes" to the web site.
Here is their suggested lines of configuration. Is there a better way to
write this as you suggested using "options ExecCGI"?
ScriptAlias /manhat-bin/ /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x/bin/
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ScriptAlias /manhat-sbin/ /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x/sbin/
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Alias /manhat-images/ /home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x/images/
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
I changed the Manhattan VC configuration files to www-data "user" and
"group" instead of changing Apache2. I believe this is a better move there.
Thanks a lot. I know Microsoft products pretty well, but I have a long way
to go with Linux.
Thanks

Apache2.
I don't think ScriptAlias is necessary directive. Only use it if you really
need it. e.g. I use "Options ExecCGI" on my webserver(s) and no ScriptAlias.
ScriptAlias only defines where CGI's (and only CGI's) reside - you can alias
it to different place than DocumentRoot. Also, if you put any file there, it
will be handles as CGI - executed.

I'd say this was changed so only files readable by user/group www-data could
be read by web server. I don't know what files are owned by user/group
"www", but they probably should not be read by apache, or any process it
executes...
