[Answered] cgi-bin 404 error

[capcom]

Hello, I am working on discord bot(https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/discord-bot#starting-and-stopping-your-bot) and created files inside my cgi-bin directory.

 

but when I try to access from browser, it is giving me 404 error.  I think it has to do with htaccess but want to see if I can only open up cgi-bin folder with a command?

 

here is my htaccess file

 

<Files .htaccess>

order allow,deny

deny from all

</Files>

 

IndexIgnore *

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(admin_media/.*)$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(flask\.wsgi/.*)$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ flask.wsgi/$1 [QSA,PT,L]

 

 

 

Thanks for the help.

The Flask rewrite rules are interfering with it. Those rules take all requests except requests to media, admin_media, or flask.wsgi and force them through flask.

 

Assuming the cgi-bin folder you're using is in the same folder as the flask app, you need to add an exception for cgi-bin under the RewriteBase line:

RewriteRule ^(cgi-bin/.*)$ - [L]

Thanks,I did try but didn't work. Gives same error. Does the placement of that rule matters? Also anything about permission, i have set as 755.

It did work after I moved it after rewritebase. Had missed that earlier. Thanks.
