Enable CGI and Use Ruby Scripts on Apache2.
|
|
[1] | Install Ruby. |
root@www:~# apt -y install ruby
|
[2] | Enable CGI module. |
root@www:~# a2enmod cgid Enabling module cgid. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl restart apache2root@www:~# systemctl restart apache2 |
[3] | After enabeling CGI, CGI scripts are allowed to execute under [/usr/lib/cgi-bin] directory by default. Therefore, for example, if a Ruby script [index.cgi] is put under the directory, it's possible to access to the URL [http://(Apache2 Server)/cgi-bin/index.cgi] from Clients. |
# create a test script root@www:~# cat > /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/ruby print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" print "Hello CGI\n" EOF
root@www:~#
chmod 705 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script
# try to access root@www:~# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script Hello CGI |
[4] | If you'd like to allow CGI in other directories except default, configure like follows. For example, allow in [/var/www/html/cgi-enabled]. |
root@www:~#
vi /etc/apache2/conf-available/cgi-enabled.conf # create new # processes .cgi and .rb as CGI scripts <Directory "/var/www/html/cgi-enabled"> Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .rb </Directory> mkdir /var/www/html/cgi-enabled root@www:~# a2enconf cgi-enabled Enabling conf cgi-enabled. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: service apache2 reloadroot@www:~# systemctl restart apache2 |
[5] | Create a CGI test page and access to it from client PC with web browser. It's OK if following page is shown. |
root@www:~#
vi /var/www/html/cgi-enabled/index.rb #!/usr/bin/ruby print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" print "<html>\n<body>\n" print "<div style=\"width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">\n" print "Ruby Script Test Page" print "\n</div>\n" print "</body>\n</html>\n" chmod 705 /var/www/html/cgi-enabled/index.rb |
