get CGI to work with my apache 2.0.48(windows version) for the following
scripting language: ruby, perl, and php.
Thanks

did this:
#in the /apache2/conf/httpd.conf
#adjust DocumentRoot “E:/dev/Daemon/Apache2/htdocs” to your dir holding
the pages my case
DocumentRoot “E:/dev/Daemon/Apache2/htdocs” → DocumentRoot “e:/dev/webpub”
#windows doesn’t like .files so dot.htaccess works or whatever fancies you.
AccessFileName dot.htaccess → AccessFileName dot.htaccess
<Files ~ “^.ht”> → <Files ~ “^dot.ht”>
IndexIgnore .??* ~ # HEADER README RCS CVS *,v *,t *.rb
Eruby install only [if you’re going to use Eruby ALONE no mod_ruby]
download binary from ruby-mirror/binaries/mswin32|mingw/1.8/ext
MSWIN
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ext/eruby-1.0.4-i386-mswin32-1.8.zip
MINGW
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/ruby/binaries/mingw/1.8/ext/eruby-1.0.5-i386-mingw32-1.8.tar.gz
or compile eruby with your compiler(mingw in my case) sources at
http://modruby.net/ current: eruby-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar -xvzf eruby-1.0.5.tar.gz
ruby configure.rb --enable-shared && make && make install
in httpd.conf add:
AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
#use your own path to eruby
Action application/x-httpd-eruby “e:/usr/local/bin/eruby.exe”
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .rhtml
#not really needed
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
add “+ExecCGI” directive to pertinent directories sections or add it in
the global DocumentRoot(be warned thought, this allows executable cgis
in ALL DocumentRoot an subdirs good for localhost but probably not smart
for real servers).
add as first line to the cgi files(.rb,.rhtml…)
#!e:/usr/local/bin/eruby.exe <–change to own path, to avoid internal
server errors.
Save this in docroot as eruby_test.rhtml, run it.
···
#!e:/usr/local/bin/eruby.exe
<%
begin
require ‘Find’ #test to check requiring
puts “Welcome to eruby Test
””
val=Dir[“*”]
val.each do |entry|
if FileTest.directory?(entry)
print ‘<a href="’
else
print ‘<a href="’
end
printf(“#{entry}">#{entry}\t\t\t#{File.mtime(entry)}\n”)
end
puts “
rescue
puts “Content-Type: text/plain”
puts “

puts “Error #{$!}: #{$!.backtrace}
”
end
Install using mod_ruby + eruby
get mod_ruby binary at:
http://www.moriq.com/ruby/win32-apache2-ruby1.8.1-mod_ruby/
sources at http://modruby.net/
copy *.so to apache2/modules/ add the line in httpd.conf
from the source of eruby copy the /lib/apache + autoreload.rb to the
\usr\local\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8
LoadModule ruby_module modules/mod_ruby.so
<Location / >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
test file 1.rbx:
#!e:/usr/local/bin/ruby
#print “HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n”
#print “Content-Type: text/plain\n\n”
require ‘cgi’
cgi = CGI.new
cgi.out {
“hello world”
}
been unable to run mod_ruby
[Tue Feb 10 20:45:03 2004] [error] access to E:/dev/webpub/ruby/1.rbx
failed for (null), reason: file permissions deny server execution
OK maybe I’m doing something wrong on the conf file, so the files aren’t
autorized to execute…check later
trying to run eruby_test gives me:
[Tue Feb 10 20:47:01 2004] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby
(eval): (eval)uninitialized constant Apache::ERubyRun (NameError)
from (eval):0:in `value’
the *.so doesn’t have eruby support?
SO I get my conf back to eruby only, anyway eruby is enough for me,
there’s fcgi but haven’t gotten around installing it.
php? install is quite simple, thought(like eruby) but there’s files that
need to be copied here and there, mostly php4apache2.dll,php4ts.dll to
php dir and lots|few changes to php ini depending on your needs, easier
to go but, been there…now using eruby.
perl, :-O? well never have used it, but it should be as eruby/cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
-code-
install Activeperl point your *.pl with a shebang and done
hope it helps, btw got around thumbnails? 
I just installed apache/php this weekend with Windows XP and got great
instructions at inikis.com.
