How to set JS source directory in apache2?
Because you are using ScriptAlias, it is treating everything in that directory like a CGI script. What you'll want to use instead is Alias:
Alias /lib "/SomeFolder/lib"

I am trying to run a very basic webserver for development/debugging. The static HTML seems to be delivered correctly, but it seems that the JavaScript libraries are not being delivered to the browser. The page HTML says something like
<html> <head> <script type='text/javascript' src="/lib/json.js"></script> ...Now, I have set up a link for /lib/ in my httpd.conf as:
Scriptalias /lib/ "/SomeFolder/lib/"When I do this, it can't fetch the files because this is what I see in my apache error log:
... [error] [client ::1] client denied by server configuration: /SomeFolder/lib/json.js, referer: http://localhost/SomeSiteIt seems that apache is not allowing access to the folder, so I add this to httpd.conf:
<Directory "/SomeFolder/lib/"> Allow from all </Directory>After this, browsing the page still does not run the JS, instead I see the following error in my apache error log:
[error] [client ::1] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/SomeFolder/lib/json.js' failed, referer: http://localhost/SomeSiteSo now, it seems that apache is trying to run the JS files on the server like a cgi script or something. But I have not made that folder a cgi-bin folder. The only lines where
SomeFolderis mentioned by name is in these lines in httpd.conf:Scriptalias /lib/ "/SomeFolder/lib/" <Directory "/SomeFolder/lib/"> Allow from all </Directory>
