Apache2 CGI 执行权限被拒绝

Question

I am getting this error when I try executing a basic Perl script on my Apache server. In my browser, I type in localhost/cgi-bin/first.pl , and I receive this error:

(13)Permission denied: exec of '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/first.pl' failed

This is my perl script:

#!/usr/lib/cgi-bin

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, World.";

And this is my default file in the sites-available folder. As you can see, every file in /usr/lib/cgi-bin should be recognized as a CGI file. And, /usr/lib/cgi-bin is exactly where first.pl is located.

ALSO, I did do chmod a+x first.pl .

Answer 1

You are getting this error because the shebang line (the first line of the script, starting with #! ) specifies the interpreter that is launched to execute the script. What failed was therefore launching /usr/lib/cgi-bin as an executable.

Replace

#!/usr/lib/cgi-bin

with

#!/usr/bin/perl

If that still doesn't work, one possibility is that perl is in an ununsual location, and you could try

#!/usr/bin/env perl

One suggestion, if you can use a shell on the machine where your script lives, would be to try executing it directly. Had you done this, you would have seen a slightly more explanatory message "bad interpreter: Permission denied".

Answer 2

Check your permission/owner information on the directory as well.

Looking at the apache conf you posted, you will need to change the script to have a .cgi extension or add the perl extension to the AddHandler. What you have provided only lists the python extension.

Answer 3

I had this problem with the http/cgi wrapper for git.

For me the issue was mod_cgid and the permissions on /var/run preventing cgid from attaching to the socket used for the cgi script.

The rather cryptic clue was

[Fri Nov 27 14:39:02.506675 2020] [cgid:error] [pid 589971:tid 140310986311424] (13)Permission denied: [client 172.16.90.189:50018] AH01257: unable to connect to cgi daemon after multiple tries: /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend

Yet www-data can run the git-http-backend cgi executable

I resolved this by creating folder /apache_run with permissions www_data:www_data 770 and adding the following to apache2.conf

ScriptSock /apache2_run/cgid.sock
