CGI-Node - cgi.bin/cgi-node.js not called

[teedjee]

Hello everybody,

I installed Node v4.5.0 on my QNAP TS231+. It is located in /usr/local/bin and seemingly works fine.

Now I need CGI-Node to run Node modules through the Apache cgi.

I did what is advised on http://www.cgi-node.org:

- copy cgi-node.js in /share/Web/cgi.bin, give it full execution rights, and set its shebang as #!/usr/local/bin/node

- copy the following lines in .htaccess (under /share/Web):

Code: Select all

Action cgi-node /cgi-bin/cgi-node.js 
AddHandler cgi-node .jss

I created the following classical cgiNodeInfo.jss file under /share/Web:

Code: Select all

<? cgiNodeInfo() ?>

Seems everything is in place: html files served right, info.php is okay, ./cgi.bin/cgi-node.js runs, .htaccess makes .jss files treated a special way but something is wrong still and I couldn't correct it. When I request cgiNodeInfo.jss from a browser I always get this strange error:

Code: Select all

Not Found
The requested URL /cgi-bin/cgi-node.js/cgiNodeInfo.jss was not found on this server.
Apache Server at xyz.myqnapcloud.com Port 8081

Why are the path to cgi-node.js and cgiNodeInfo.jss concatenated like that? I got the same behavior with different .jss files in different locations.

Thank your for your suggestions.

Note: I haven't changed Apache configuration file and it seems not necessary to do so.

maybe you need to use absolute paths perhaps? /share/Web/cgi-bin/cgi-node.js or even like so: /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Web/cgi-bin/cgi-node.js or wherever your absolute path points to the Web folder

Thanks Simon.

I already tried /share/Web/cgi-bin/cgi-node.js (absolute/relative paths are always a nightmare ) and it does not work any better. Error message extends path to /share/Web/cgi-bin/cgi-node.js which by the way gave me some proof what's in .htaccess is well understood. I don't think /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Web/cgi-bin/cgi-node.js will do anything different as the former is just a symbolic link to the later.

Thanks again, anyway.
