Re: I hate Apache configs ...

I'm going to assume that your jonslib.lib is a typo, but I expect your actual problem is that you're trying a ScriptAlias vs a ScriptAliasMatch with a bunch of stuff trailing after your first parameter.

Try

ScriptAliasMatch ^/restsrv1(.*)$ /qsys.lib/jons.lib/restsrv1.pgm

The URL I want to use is http://xyz.com/restsrv1/request1/request2/etc.

The config entry I have is:

ScriptAlias /restsrv1 /qsys.lib/jons.lib/restsrv1.pgm
<Directory /qsys.lib/jonslib.lib>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
</Directory>

> From the first attempt I don't appear to be getting a match because it is trying to locate it as a file in my default directory - the log shows that is attempting to locate file /www/jon/htdocs/restsrv1

In the config I also have a generic CGI config entry:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/CGI/(.*) /QSYS.LIB/PARTNER400.LIB/$1.PGM
<Directory /QSYS.LIB/PARTNER400.LIB>
order allow,deny
allow from all
SetHandler cgi-script
Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

Which will run most anything in the named library - but not this program - get a 500 error and the program itself never gets called. Is this related to the additional entries in the URL? I had read else where that the default was the back-end of the URL was available for CGI programs but ...


I know it is something daft - but brain is not functioning today.
