Installing

Installation:

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install python3

Enable CGI processing in apache:

sudo a2enmod cgi

Configure Apache2:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/host-cgi.conf

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/test/scripts/techsupp_analyzer/

<Directory /home/test/scripts/techsupp_analyzer>
        AllowOverride None
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
        Options +ExecCGI
        AddHandler cgi-script .py
</Directory>

Test Script

sudo nano /home/test/scripts/techsupp_analyzer/cgi.py

#!/usr/bin/python3

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-# enable debugging

import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print()
print("Hello World!")

Change Permissions:

sudo chown -R test:www-data cgi-bin/
sudo chmod +x cgi-bin/cgi.bin

Testing:

http://10.140.196.7/cgi-bin/cgi.py

Get inputs from URL

Create a test CGI script in cgi-bin dir:

nano test.py

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import modules for CGI handling 
import cgi, cgitb 

# Create instance of FieldStorage 
form = cgi.FieldStorage() 

# Get data from fields
first_name = form.getvalue('first_name')
last_name  = form.getvalue('last_name')

print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print "<html>"
print "<head>"
print "<title>Hello - Second CGI Program</title>"
print "</head>"
print "<body>"
print "<h2>Hello %s %s</h2>" % (first_name, last_name)
print "</body>"
print "</html>"

Make it executable:

sudo chmod +x test.py

Testing:

http://10.140.196.7/cgi-bin/test.py?first_name=My&last_name=Admin

Get Inputs from Form

File Structure:

--|---index.py
  |
  |---test.py

In the same dir as above test.py, create Form Page:

nano index.py

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import modules for CGI handling
import cgi, cgitb

print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print "<html>"
print "<head>"
print "<title>Hello - Second CGI Program</title>"
print "</head>"
print "<body>"
print'<form action = "/cgi-bin/test.py" method = "get">'
print'First Name: <input type = "text" name = "first_name">  <br />'
print'Last Name: <input type = "text" name = "last_name" />'
print'<input type = "submit" value = "Submit" />'
print"</form>"
print "</body>"
print "</html>"
