PK28348: THERE IS A BUG IN THE HANDLING OF CGID DIRECTIVES INSIDE VIRTUALHOSTS WHEN USING SCRIPTSOCK DIRECTIVE.

PK65782; 2.0.47.1: IBM HTTP Server V2.0.47 Cumulative Interim Fix

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IHS 6.0, customer has added the directive in VirtualHost ...
  Scriptsock /arappx01/pasweb/logs/cgisock
  and gets the error
  [crit] CGI request received from wrong server instance; see
  ScriptSock directive
  There appears to be a bug in the handling of cgid directives
  inside virtualhosts.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• The ScriptSock directive was handled improperly when any
  mod_cgid directives were placed inside a <VirtualHost >
  container.  This resulted in the default ScriptSock value
  being used if any mod_cgid directive was placed inside
  <VirtualHost >.
  

Problem conclusion

• Only one script socket is used by mod_cgid per web server
  instance, so handling of the ScriptSock directive was
  separated from handling of other mod_cgid directives which
  can be placed inside <VirtualHost >, correcting the problem.
  Additionally, if ScriptSock is coded within <VirtualHost >,
  a warning message will be issued at startup.  (That
  configuration is not meaningful since there is only one script
  socket per web server instance, and it must be configured at
  global scope -- outside of any <VirtualHost >.
  This fix is targed for:
  2.0: cumulative fix PK29827
  6.0: fix pack 6.0.2.15
  6.1: fix pack 6.1.0.3
