Many ikiwiki examples name the [[cgi]] "ikiwiki.cgi", and put it somewhere
like ~/public_html/ikiwiki.cgi, or /var/www/wiki/ikiwiki.cgi.
If you follow those examples, you may find that when trying to edit a page
in your wiki, you see the raw contents of the ikiwiki.cgi program. Or get a
permission denied problem.
This is because apache is generally not configured to run cgi scripts
unless they're in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/. While you can put ikiwiki.cgi in
there if you like, here's how to configure apache (version 2) to run .cgi
programs from anywhere.
These instructions are for Debian systems, but the basic apache
configuration should work anywhere.
-
Edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add a line like this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
-
Find the "Options" line for the directory where you've put the
ikiwiki.cgi, and add "ExecCGI" to the list of options. For example, if
ikiwiki.cgi is in /var/www/, edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
and add it to the "Options" line in the "Directory /var/www/" stanza.
Or, if you've put it in a ~/public_html, edit
/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf.
