3.10.3. CGI/FastCGI installation

  • Ensure that you have Apache and FastCGI installed and functioning.
  • Create a symlink to the command-line executable:
    ln -sf /usr/share/spyce/run_spyceCmd.py /usr/bin/spyce
    or wherever you have chosen to install it.
  • Copy the "Spyce via cgi or fcgi" lines from spyceApache.conf to your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, and replace the XXX with the appropriate path to your spyce installation.
  • Restart Apache
Alternative CGI configuration: The alternative CGI configuration directs the webserver to execute the .spy file itself, not the Spyce engine. This is appropriate if you do not control Apache on the server you are installing to, e.g., low-end hosting plans. Each .spy file should have execute permissions for the web server, and the first line should be: 

  #!/usr/bin/python /home/username/spyce/run_spyceCGI.py
(Adjust to the correct Spyce installation path as necessary.) Then add the following line to the httpd.conf, or to the .htaccess file in the same directory. 
  AddHandler cgi-script spy
Finally, ensure that the directory itself has the ExecCGI option enabled, and set cgi_allow_only_redirect to False in your Spyce configuration module. For more details, please refer to the Apache documentation, specifically ExecCGI option, Directory, Location, AllowOverride and Apache CGI documentation, for more information on how to get a standard CGI setup working.
