Re: [ANNOUNCE] Abe 0.7: Open Source Block Explorer Knockoff

I have tried all I know to get the fcgi module working under apache 2.4.7 Ubuntu 14.04

Here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/abe.conf

Code:

ServerName chain.distroblitz.co.in
Alias /static/ /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Abe/htdocs
Alias /robots.txt /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Abe/htdocs/robots.txt
Alias /favicon.ico /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Abe/htdocs/favicon.ico
Alias / /usr/lib/cgi-bin/abe.fcgi

# Raise this if you get server errors mentioning "mod_fcgid:
# read data timeout in 40 seconds"
#FcgidIOTimeout 40

# Uncomment to log Abe requests.
ErrorLog /var/log/abe_error.log
LogLevel info
CustomLog /var/log/abe_access.log combined

I have checked filesystem permissions and I am able to run the fcgi with

Code:

sudo -u www-data /usr/lib/cgi-bin/abe.fcgi

The output when run from the command line generates errors which I assume are caused by not running it with fcgi

Code:

Abe initialized.
