CGI/SCGI/JSGI/PHP
In order to use CGI with SVR.JS, you need to install RedBrick mod. For SCGI you need to install OrangeCircle, while for JSGI you need to install YellowSquare mod. Download these mods.
CGI and PHP via RedBrick
RedBrick supports running CGI programs and PHP files (RedBrick 2.3.0 and newer) in cgi-bin directory. RedBrick 2.5.0 and newer support running CGI programs and PHP files outside cgi-bin directory. You can configure file extensions outside of cgi-bin directory handled by RedBrick in redbrick-scriptexts.json file in SVR.JS installation directory like this:
[".php", ".cgi"]
RedBrick custom interpreters (from RedBrick 2.3.2; in earlier versions it is broken) can be configured in redbrick-interpreters.json file in SVR.JS install directory like this:
{
".pl": ["perl"],
".py": ["python"],
".sh": ["bash"],
".pyw": ["python"],
".rb": ["ruby"],
".php": ["php-cgi"]
}
RedBrick 2.3.0 and newer support PHP-CGI, while RedBrick 2.3.1 and newer support URL rewriting. RedBrick 2.3.6 and newer work with Windows (older ones always threw an 500 error while trying to execute CGI scripts on Windows). RedBrick 2.4.3 and newer work with web root outside SVR.JS installation directory (older ones need config.json file in web root with valid JSON data; not necessarily related to config.json in SVR.JS installation directory)
RedBrick 2.4.1 and newer allows to disable some default interpreter configuration using "null" like this:
{
".pl": null,
".py": null,
".rb": null,
".exe": null
}
As of RedBrick 2.4.3, there are default interpreter configurations for .pl, .py, .sh, .ksh, .csh, .rb and .php files. If server is running on Windows, then there will be additional default interpreter configuration for .exe, .bat, .cmd (dropped in RedBrick 2.5.0) and .vbs files.
SVR.JS currently supports PHP-CGI through RedBrick mod. PHP is currently supported only inside cgi-bin directory in SVR.JS web root. RedBrick 2.5.0 and newer supports PHP outside of cgi-bin directory. You need to modify PHP configuration file (usually at /etc/php/<php version>/cgi/php.ini) and set cgi.force_redirect property to 0, otherwise PHP-CGI will not work and just display a warning about PHP-CGI binary being compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. It's recommended to use directories outside of cgi-bin for user uploads and downloads (so that RedBrick will not treat uploaded scripts with shebang and ELF binary files as CGI applications and try to execute them, potentially resulting in hacker-uploaded malware infections, remote code execution vulnerabilities or 500 Internal Server Errors).
For security reasons, you may disable directory listing for cgi-bin (and also other directories) through disableDirectoryListing or disableDirectoryListingVHost options in SVR.JS configuration.
SCGI via OrangeCircle
OrangeCircle can be configured in orangecircle-config.json file in SVR.JS install directory like this:
{
"path": "/scgi",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 4000
}
OrangeCircle 1.0.7 and newer work with web root outside SVR.JS installation directory (older ones need config.json file in web root with valid JSON data; not necessarily related to config.json in SVR.JS installation directory)
JSGI via YellowSquare
YellowSquare supports running JSGI scripts only in jsgi-bin directory. YellowSquare runs JSGI scripts, that are either with .jsgi or .jsgi.js extension. Every change in JSGI application requires a restart of SVR.JS in order to be applied.
YellowSquare 1.0.3 and newer work with web root outside SVR.JS installation directory (older ones need config.json file in web root with valid JSON data; not necessarily related to config.json in SVR.JS installation directory)
For security reasons, you may disable directory listing for jsgi-bin (and also other directories) through disableDirectoryListing or disableDirectoryListingVHost options in SVR.JS configuration.
