Mason component root / fastcgi

RT Users
1

Hi,

I’m new to the Mason/fastcgi world yet this seems like it ought to be a FAQ
(but I looked and did not find):

[Thu Oct 18 08:37:55 2001] [warn] [Mason] Cannot resolve file to component:
/usr/local/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi (is file outside component root?)

I can’t see where Mason’s component root is being specified; ScriptAlias has
been added to my httpd.conf (as per the installation instructions).

Thanks for any pointers.

Scott

Hmm, I have the following, and it works for me:

<Location /WebRT>
Options +ExecCGI

RewriteRule /WebRT /WebRT/ [R,L]
Alias /WebRT/ /usr/local/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/

I’m not really sure that ScriptAlias should be used the way it’s
described in the guide.

I’m simply running with the ScriptAlias within one of our VirtualHosts,
and it runs just fine. No need to specify the Location or any
RewriteRule on my end…

The RewriteRule is there to make sure that people who forget to put an
ending slash on the initial URL get the right thing. An extra
commodity, basically, not really essencial.
