"SOLVED" "PUT" Support for XAMPP Lite

Postby steffenbaier » 14. April 2009 21:08

See last post this is now solved !

Hi all,

I am trying to get Xampplite to support "put". Unfortunately I have not real experience with Webservers ;-)

A Wireless DECT Server needs "PUT" in order to upload it's configuration and using google to search for it does not show up to many results that helped me so far.
I understood that I need CGI Support for PUT to be able to work.

Here is what I have done so far:

Downloaded Xampplite from here:

http://www.apachefriends.org/download.p ... -1.7.0.exe

Un-rarred to c:\xampplite

Run the setup_xampp.bat

Created a Directory within C:\xampplite\htdocs called Kirk and within this a directory called backup

Opened a Text Editor and create a file called backup.txt with this content:

Code: Select all
mod cmd UP0 scfg http://172.27.12.54/kirk/backup/#d#h#b5.txt


And stored this within the C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup directory

Above file is opened by the DECT (Cordless Phone Server) and tells it were to put the configuration file

Downloaded the following CGI Script: http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/put1

from here: http://www.apacheweek.com/features/put and stored it as a txt file called put.cgi within: C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup

Change the Top line in the put.CGI into :
Code: Select all
#!C:/xampplite/perl/bin/perl


Open the httpd.conf within C:\xampplite\apache\conf change the:

Code: Select all
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks


into:

Code: Select all
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI


and add to the:

Code: Select all
<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.pl index.html index.htm index.shtml index.phtml

the put.cgi script as know module

Started xamp via xampp_start.exe within C:\xampplite

I can see within the access.log file the following:

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [14/Apr/2009:17:52:30 +0100] "GET /kirk/backup/backup.txt?ver=6.00+dvl-sr2+IP1200%5B09-60700.80%5D%2C+Bootcode%5B366%5D%2C+HW%5B30%5D+8192%2F32768&PROT=08-60700.75&CFG-BACKUP-NUM=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 55
172.27.5.130 - - [14/Apr/2009:17:52:30 +0100] "PUT /kirk/backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 405 1043


I can run the put.cgi script manually within a MS-Dos Box:

Code: Select all
C:\xampplite\perl\bin>perl.exe c:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup\put.cgi
Status: 500
Content-Type: text/html

<HEAD><TITLE>Error</TITLE></HEAD><H1>Error Publishing File</H1> An error occurred publishing this file (Request method is not PUT).



Any Hints ...?

Thanks

Steffen

OK,

I tried:
Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "/xampplite/htdocs"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Script PUT /kirk/backup/put.cgi
</Directory>


and get:

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:09:32:30 +0100] "PUT /kirk/backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 500 142


then I tried:

Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "/xampplite/htdocs"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Script PUT /xamplite/htdocs/kirk/backup/put.cgi
</Directory>


and got:

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:09:35:30 +0100] "PUT /kirk/backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 405 1043


Any hints are gladly taken ;-)

Code: Select all
Script PUT /kirk/backup/put.cgi

That's correct. But you should enable this only for the directory "/xamplite/htdocs/Kirk".

172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:09:32:30 +0100] "PUT /kirk/backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 500
142

Read the "error.log".

Hi,

thanks again for your help but I think I am a bit "thick" ...

Part of my HTTPD.conf:
Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk"
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Script PUT /backup/put.cgi
</Directory>
<Directory "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
      Script PUT /backup/put.cgi
</Directory>


my "script" being called by the DECT server:

Code: Select all
mod cmd UP0 scfg http://172.27.12.54/backup/#m.txt


access.log:

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:20:14 +0100] "GET /backup/backup.txt?ver=6.00+dvl-sr2+IP1200%5B09-60700.80%5D%2C+Bootcode%5B366%5D%2C+HW%5B30%5D+8192%2F32768&PROT=08-60700.75&CFG-BACKUP-NUM=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 50

quick update to the error above...

I had missed the correct Path for Perl in the put.cgi

Code: Select all
#!C:/xampplite/perl/bin/perl.exe


Now I only get this in the access.log and no error in the error.log

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:26:14 +0100] "GET /backup/backup.txt?ver=6.00+dvl-sr2+IP1200%5B09-60700.80%5D%2C+Bootcode%5B366%5D%2C+HW%5B30%5D+8192%2F32768&PROT=08-60700.75&CFG-BACKUP-NUM=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 50
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:26:14 +0100] "PUT /backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 500 142

Part of my HTTPD.conf:

You remember?
--> Only for "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk"

Code: Select all
Script PUT /backup/put.cgi

I'm not sure at the moment: Is this the correct URI for the file "put.cgi"? (In which directory did you have this file?)
(IMHO should be "/kirk/put.cgi" or /kirk/backup/put.cgi")

Hi,

thanks for your patience ;-)

put.cgi is within:
Code: Select all
C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is F4C6-3994

 Directory of C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup

15/04/2009  11:47    <DIR>          .
15/04/2009  11:47    <DIR>          ..
15/04/2009  10:28                50 backup.txt
15/04/2009  11:47             2,580 put.cgi
               2 File(s)          2,630 bytes
               2 Dir(s)  119,019,667,456 bytes free

C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup>


I did not understand your reference above:
You remember?
--> Only for "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk"


As I understand I specify the directory for document root and the ones that are served when a directory is requested

Therefore in the http.conf:

Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk"

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    Script PUT /kirk/backup/put.cgi
</Directory>


and
Code: Select all
#
<Directory "/xampplite/htdocs/kirk">
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
Script PUT /kirk/backup/put.cgi
</Directory>


Would you have a downloadable example or should we switch to German instead...?

access.log:
Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:51:14 +0100] "GET /backup/backup.txt?ver=6.00+dvl-sr2+IP1200%5B09-60700.80%5D%2C+Bootcode%5B366%5D%2C+HW%5B30%5D+8192%2F32768&PROT=08-60700.75&CFG-BACKUP-NUM=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 50
172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:51:14 +0100] "PUT /backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 405 1043

and nothing in the error log ... :cry:

I think you are completely wrong with that. The DECT Server (which runs a webserver inside) has a CGI Service which can be triggered by the (standard) HTTP Request PUT (not used very often, but part of the HTTP specification). See WebDav for more Information.

I dont believe that you have to set up a webserver which supports a PUT Request, you have to find a browser which supports a PUT Request in order to trigger the PUT Script on the Kirk DECT Server. With this PUT Request you might upload a new configuration to that DECT Server or similar. A PUT Request is a kind of Upload, whereas a GET is a kind of download.

Could you show us the documentation, where you read about this PUT Script of your Kirk DECT router?

Hi,

thanks for the interest...
The actual Software for this Part is programmed by Innovaphone from Germany.

Admin Guide here: http://www.polycom.eu/global/documents/ ... _guide.pdf Page 191

• One or more Web server(s) accessible by the devices.
• the Web servers tested were MS IIS and the Apache server. It should, however, also
work with all other common Web servers.
• For best results, the Web server should be able to manage a large number of
simultaneous HTTP sessions. MS Personal Web Server, for example, is not a suitable
Web server, since it manages a maximum of 10 simultaneous HTTP sessions.


I could provide a wireshark trace if this helps ;-)

Hmm,

172.27.5.130 - - [15/Apr/2009:11:51:14 +0100] "PUT /backup/00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt HTTP/1.1" 405 1043

Your device is accessing " /backup/" or "/kirk/backup/"?

Hi,

it should access
Code: Select all
C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup


within the http.conf I specify that the Document root is:
Code: Select all
"/xampplite/htdocs/kirk"


via GET it loads the backup.txt from :
Code: Select all
C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup\
and shows in the access.log:
Code: Select all
"GET /backup/backup.txt?ver=6.00+dvl-sr2+IP1200%5B09-60700.80%5D%2C+Bootcode%5B366%5D%2C+HW%5B30%5D+8192%2F32768&PROT=08-60700.75&CFG-BACKUP-NUM=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 50


It then executes the backup.txt and "should" PUT the created file mac-address.txt into /backup Directory within
Code: Select all
C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\

it should access

Your device was using two different URI's for the PUT (not GET) request. Why?

Hi,

I was trying to adopt some of the changes you suggested (http.conf) and must have changed the URL within the backup.txt and therefore the access.log reflects this.

I have attached my http.conf,backup.txt and put.cgi

http://www.2shared.com/file/5357135/f0f ... _test.html

I also just noticed that within the put.cgi I had specified:
Code: Select all
$putlog = "/tmp/put1.log";


and whilst I had the 500 error I got the following in the Log

Code: Select all
172.27.5.130 - C:\xampplite\htdocs\kirk\backup\00-90-33-0f-23-a2.txt status 500 (Content-Length missing or zero ())
but only until 11:05 UK time
