Use Ruby Scripts2014/04/30 |
|
Configure Apache2 to use Ruby as CGI scripts.
|
|
| [1] | Install Ruby. |
|
root@www:~# apt-get -y install ruby2.0
|
| [2] | Enable CGI module. |
|
root@www:~# a2enmod cgi Your MPM seems to be threaded. Selecting cgid instead of cgi. Enabling module cgid. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: service apache2 restart root@www:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * Restarting web server apache2 ...done. |
| [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 reload |
| [5] | Create a CGI test page and access to it from any clients 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 |
