I recently installed Ubuntu Linux alongside my Windows XP. Here are the current partition setups:
Master Hard Drive
C:/ - 40 GB NTFS
Slave Hard Drive
D:/ - 20 GB FAT32
E:/ - 10 GB FAT32
~50 GB where Linux is installed.
On Windows, I'm running an Apache HTTP server, where the document root is at D:\Web (on the FAT32 partition). On Linux, I installed Apache and also set the document root to this location (/media/hdb1/Web).
The problem is that my CGI scripts aren't allowed to run while I'm on Linux. And since the CGI scripts are on a FAT32 partition, I can't chmod them to make them accessible from the Internet.
To test it, I copied one of my web directories (I use VirtualHosts to host multiple domains) to my home folder at /home/casey/Web, and modified the httpd.conf appropriately, and then changed the permissions on the file and the CGI could execute just fine. I just can't get them to execute from the FAT32 partition.
I prefer to keep them on this partition, so that way both Windows and Linux can share the same web files... I don't want to have to copy/paste them all to and from the Linux web directories to the FAT32 one every time I switch back and forth between Windows and Linux.
Is there a way to override Apache somehow or make it allow CGI scripts to be executable from this directory?
Thanks in advance.
