The above configuration block relies on the Regular Expressions (regex) processor being available to the Apache environment.
Sometimes this is not the case and CSP files are consequently not served (File not found errors are returned).
To remedy this situation you can associate the (virtual) root location of your CSP applications with the CGI module instead
of making the association through the CSP file extensions. For example, your CSP applications are contained in /csp. To
associate the CSP CGI module with files under /csp, replace the following configuration block:
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ScriptAliasMatch /*\.([Cc][Ss][Pp]|[Cc][Ll][Ss])$ \
"/usr/cachesys/csp/bin/nph-CSPcgi"
with:
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ScriptAlias /csp "/usr/cachesys/csp/bin/nph-CSPcgi"
These directives work for URLs of the form:
http://localhost:/csp/*.csp
Duplicate the configuration block for other root Locations. For example, repeat the process for /myapps for URLs of the
form:
http://localhost:/myapps/*.csp
Another approach to avoiding the regex issue is to use an Action directive in conjunction with a CSP MIME type.
However, it should be noted that Action is essentially a content filtering technique and, as such, requires that your CSP
files are physically present on the Web server host even if the Caché server is installed on a separate computer. If you wish
to use this approach, first add a new MIME type to the end of the Apache mime.types file and associate it with file types
representing CSP content. The mime.types file are found in the same directory as the httpd.conf file.
text/csp
csp cls
Now, add the Action directive to the end of the CGI configuration block in httpd.conf such that it reads:
Alias /csp/ /usr/cachesys/csp/
AllowOverride None
Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
