Yep, I got that. Took what what generated in the ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-apache.conf and tacked it on the end of the httpd.conf. (This has always worked for me in the past) See below for settings.

NB: The "Alias" line below must NOT be used if you have

the Hobbit webfiles as the root URL. In that case,

you should instead set this:

DocumentRoot /export/home/hobbit//server/www

Alias /hobbit/ "/export/home/hobbit/server/www/" <Directory "/export/home/hobbit/server/www"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

ScriptAlias /hobbit-cgi/ "/export/home/hobbit/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/export/home/hobbit/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

ScriptAlias /hobbit-seccgi/ "/export/home/hobbit/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/export/home/hobbit/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes Order allow,deny Allow from all

# Password file where users with access to these scripts are kept.
# Create it with "htpasswd -c /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd USERNAME"
# Add more users / change passwords with "htpasswd /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd USERNAME"

AuthUserFile /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Hobbit Administration"
Require valid-user

</Directory

Hi all

I am installing a new Hobbit server, running 4.1.2p1 on Solaris 10 with Apache 2.2.0 It's starting to look good. I get the main hobbit page come up, and many green faces smiling at me. However, whenever I click on a face, or any menu option that runs a script, my browser opens a dialogue box and wants to start a download. :-(

When I go to the Hobbit home page with the same browser, it all works OK, so I am certain it's either a stuff-up with my Hobbit install, or an Apache server config problem. Everything in the ~hobbit/cgi-* is readable and executable by all.

What's happening here? Have I missed something?

You need to configure apache so that it knows that the cgi directories are indeed just that :)

Something like this

ScriptAlias /hobbit-cgi/ "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes </Directory> ScriptAlias /hobbit-seccgi/ "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-secure/" <Directory "/usr/lib/hobbit/cgi-secure"> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Includes </Directory>
