Configure Apache to support CGI

Recently in building Gitweb, Apache is needed to support Perl (CGI enabled)

Find many methods on the Internet, many failed, and finally summed up a successful method of configuration:

First, has been installed on the Apache server

Second, edit/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

First configure Apache support for CGI, plus the following configuration:

LoadModule cgi_module/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_cgi.so

Then configure a directory to execute the CGI program, here I take the/var/www directory as an example:

<Directory/var/www/>
        Options Indexes followsymlinks execcgi   #加上ExecCGI to support CGI programs
        allowoverride None
        Require All granted
        AddHandler cgi-script. exe. pl. CGI   #添加cgi程序将要处理的后缀名
</Directory>

End

We create a file in the/var/www directory, test.cgi:

#!/usr/bin/perl-w use
warnings;
Use CGI QW (: standard);
#! Must use ' I ' to define a variable
print header;
My $now _string = LocalTime ();
Print "<b>hello, CGI using Perl!</b><br/>it ' s $now _string now!<br/>";

Restart Apache, Access: localhost/test.cgi can see the content of the page output, to this, Apache support CGI configuration success
