<p>The CGI (Common Gateway Interface) defines a way for a web
server to interact with external content-generating programs,
which are often referred to as CGI programs or CGI scripts. It
is the simplest, and most common, way to put dynamic content on
your web site. This document will be an introduction to setting
up CGI on your Apache web server, and getting started writing
CGI programs.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="configuring" id="configuring">Configuring Apache to permit CGI</a></h2>
<p>In order to get your CGI programs to work properly, you'll
need to have Apache configured to permit CGI execution. There
are several ways to do this.</p>
<h3><a name="scriptalias" id="scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></h3>
<p>The
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>
directive tells Apache that a particular directory is set
aside for CGI programs. Apache will assume that every file in
this directory is a CGI program, and will attempt to execute
it, when that particular resource is requested by a
client.</p>
<p>The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>
directive looks like:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/
</code></p></div>
<p>The example shown is from your default <code>httpd.conf</code>
configuration file, if you installed Apache in the default
location. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>
directive is much like the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#alias">Alias</a></code> directive, which defines a URL prefix that
is to mapped to a particular directory. <code class="directive">Alias</code>
and <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> are usually used for
directories that are outside of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> directory. The difference between
<code class="directive">Alias</code> and <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code>
is that <code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code> has the added meaning
that everything under that URL prefix will be considered a CGI
program. So, the example above tells Apache that any request for a
resource beginning with <code>/cgi-bin/</code> should be served from
the directory <code>/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/</code>, and should be
treated as a CGI program.</p>
<p>For example, if the URL
<code>http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/test.pl</code>
is requested, Apache will attempt to execute the file
<code>/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/test.pl</code>
and return the output. Of course, the file will have to
exist, and be executable, and return output in a particular
way, or Apache will return an error message.</p>
<h3><a name="nonscriptalias" id="nonscriptalias">CGI outside of ScriptAlias directories</a></h3>
<p>CGI programs are often restricted to <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code>'ed directories for security reasons.
In this way, administrators can tightly control who is allowed to
use CGI programs. However, if the proper security precautions are
taken, there is no reason why CGI programs cannot be run from
arbitrary directories. For example, you may wish to let users
have web content in their home directories with the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> directive.
If they want to have their own CGI programs, but don't have access to
the main <code>cgi-bin</code> directory, they will need to be able to
run CGI programs elsewhere.</p>
<p>There are two steps to allowing CGI execution in an arbitrary
directory. First, the <code>cgi-script</code> handler must be
activated using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code> directive. Second,
<code>ExecCGI</code> must be specified in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#options">Options</a></code> directive.</p>
<h3><a name="options" id="options">Explicitly using Options to permit CGI execution</a></h3>
<p>You could explicitly use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#options">Options</a></code> directive, inside your main server configuration
file, to specify that CGI execution was permitted in a particular
directory:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/somedir><br />
<span class="indent">
Options +ExecCGI<br />
</span>
</Directory>
</code></p></div>
<p>The above directive tells Apache to permit the execution
of CGI files. You will also need to tell the server what
files are CGI files. The following <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code> directive tells the server to treat all
files with the <code>cgi</code> or <code>pl</code> extension as CGI
programs:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</code></p></div>
<h3><a name="htaccess" id="htaccess">.htaccess files</a></h3>
<p>The <a href="htaccess.html"><code>.htaccess</code> tutorial</a>
shows how to activate CGI programs if you do not have
access to <code>httpd.conf</code>.</p>
<h3><a name="userdir" id="userdir">User Directories</a></h3>
<p>To allow CGI program execution for any file ending in
<code>.cgi</code> in users' directories, you can use the
following configuration.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
<Directory /home/*/public_html><br />
<span class="indent">
Options +ExecCGI<br />
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi<br />
</span>
</Directory>
</code></p></div>
<p>If you wish designate a <code>cgi-bin</code> subdirectory of
a user's directory where everything will be treated as a CGI
program, you can use the following.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin><br />
<span class="indent">
Options ExecCGI<br />
SetHandler cgi-script<br />
</span>
</Directory>
</code></p></div>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="writing" id="writing">Writing a CGI program</a></h2>
<p>There are two main differences between ``regular''
programming, and CGI programming.</p>
<p>First, all output from your CGI program must be preceded by
a MIME-type header. This is HTTP header that tells the client
what sort of content it is receiving. Most of the time, this
will look like:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
Content-type: text/html
</code></p></div>
<p>Secondly, your output needs to be in HTML, or some other
format that a browser will be able to display. Most of the
time, this will be HTML, but occasionally you might write a CGI
program that outputs a gif image, or other non-HTML
content.</p>
<p>Apart from those two things, writing a CGI program will look
a lot like any other program that you might write.</p>
<h3><a name="firstcgi" id="firstcgi">Your first CGI program</a></h3>
<p>The following is an example CGI program that prints one
line to your browser. Type in the following, save it to a
file called <code>first.pl</code>, and put it in your
<code>cgi-bin</code> directory.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
#!/usr/bin/perl<br />
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";<br />
print "Hello, World.";
</code></p></div>
<p>Even if you are not familiar with Perl, you should be able
to see what is happening here. The first line tells Apache
(or whatever shell you happen to be running under) that this
program can be executed by feeding the file to the
interpreter found at the location <code>/usr/bin/perl</code>.
The second line prints the content-type declaration we
talked about, followed by two carriage-return newline pairs.
This puts a blank line after the header, to indicate the end
of the HTTP headers, and the beginning of the body. The third
line prints the string "Hello, World.". And that's the end
of it.</p>
<p>If you open your favorite browser and tell it to get the
address</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/first.pl
</code></p></div>
<p>or wherever you put your file, you will see the one line
<code>Hello, World.</code> appear in your browser window.
It's not very exciting, but once you get that working, you'll
have a good chance of getting just about anything working.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="troubleshoot" id="troubleshoot">But it's still not working!</a></h2>
<p>There are four basic things that you may see in your browser
when you try to access your CGI program from the web:</p>
<dl>
<dt>The output of your CGI program</dt>
<dd>Great! That means everything worked fine. If the output is correct,
but the browser is not processing it correctly, make sure you have the
correct <code>Content-Type</code> set in your CGI program.</dd>
<dt>The source code of your CGI program or a "POST Method Not
Allowed" message</dt>
<dd>That means that you have not properly configured Apache
to process your CGI program. Reread the section on
<a href="#configuring">configuring
Apache</a> and try to find what you missed.</dd>
<dt>A message starting with "Forbidden"</dt>
<dd>That means that there is a permissions problem. Check the
<a href="#errorlogs">Apache error log</a> and the section below on
<a href="#permissions">file permissions</a>.</dd>
<dt>A message saying "Internal Server Error"</dt>
<dd>If you check the
<a href="#errorlogs">Apache error log</a>, you will probably
find that it says "Premature end of
