3.3 Apache2 : Using Perl Scripts

Enable CGI and configure it to use Perl scripts
①Install Perl

# apt -y install perl

1	# apt -y install perl

②Enable and restart the CGI module

# a2enmod cgid
# systemctl restart apache2

1 2	# a2enmod cgid # systemctl restart apache2

③Check CGI modules are enabled

Test script creation

# cat > /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello CGI\n";
EOF

# cat > /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script <<'EOF'

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "Hello CGI\n";

EOF

Granting permissions to script files

# chmod 705 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script

1	# chmod 705 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/test_script

Operation check

# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script

1	# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script

“curl: If you get the message "Command not found"

# apt install curl

1	# apt install curl

again

# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script
Hello CGI

1 2	# curl http://localhost/cgi-bin/test_script Hello CGI

3.4 Apache2 : Using PHP Scripts

①Install PHP

# apt -y install php php-cgi libapache2-mod-php php-common php-pear php-mbstring

1	# apt -y install php php-cgi libapache2-mod-php php-common php-pear php-mbstring

②Configuring Apache2

# a2enconf php7.4-cgi
Enabling conf php7.4-cgi.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
systemctl reload apache2

# a2enconf php7.4-cgi

Enabling conf php7.4-cgi.

To activate the new configuration, you need to run:

systemctl reload apache2

# systemctl restart apache2

1	# systemctl restart apache2

# vi /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

# Line 846 : change
#upload_max_filesize = 2M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
# Line 962：Uncomment and set time zone
date.timezone = "Asia/Tokyo"

# vi /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

# Line 846 : change

#upload_max_filesize = 2M

upload_max_filesize = 200M

# Line 962：Uncomment and set time zone

date.timezone = "Asia/Tokyo"

③Create a PHP test page to see how it works

# vi /var/www/html/index.php

<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
<?php
print "PHP Test Page";
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

# vi /var/www/html/index.php

<html>

<?php

print "PHP Test Page";

</div>

</body>

</html>

Access "http://<server IP address>/index.php" in your browser

If you get a screen like this, you have succeeded

3.5 Apache2 : Virtual Host Configuration

①Copy the default configuration file(The file name is arbitrary, in this case "vhost-yourdomain.conf" as an example)
Virtual host configuration

# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
# cp 000-default.conf vhost-yourdomain.conf

1 2	# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/ # cp 000-default.conf vhost-yourdomain.conf

②Edit the configuration file you have created

# vi vhost-yourdomain.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
～省略～
ServerName <FQDN>
ServerAdmin <Administrator email address>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/<FQDN>/
　　　　～Abbreviations～
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/<FQDN>.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/<FQDN>.access.log combined
　　　　～Abbreviations～
</VirtualHost>

# vi vhost-yourdomain.conf

～省略～

ServerName <FQDN>

ServerAdmin <Administrator email address>

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/<FQDN>/

　　　　～Abbreviations～

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/<FQDN>.error.log

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/<FQDN>.access.log combined

　　　　～Abbreviations～

</VirtualHost>

③Disable the default configuration file by symlinking to it

# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/
# a2ensite vhost-yourdomain.conf

1 2	# cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/ # a2ensite vhost-yourdomain.conf

Default disable
# a2dissite 000-default.conf
# systemctl restart apache2

Default disable

# a2dissite 000-default.conf

# systemctl restart apache2

④Editing the hosts file

# vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 <Your domain name>

# vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 <Your domain name>

⑤Create directory

# mkdir /var/www/html/<FQDN>

1	# mkdir /var/www/html/<FQDN>

⑥Create a test page and check it works

# vi /var/www/html/<FQDN>/index.html

<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
Virtual Host Test Page
</div>
</body>
</html>

# vi /var/www/html/<FQDN>/index.html
