Since with new lighttpd webservice everything is being served from public_hmL try the following steps:

1. $ webservice stop
2. $ mv cgi_bin/ public_html/
3. with editor create/open file: ~/.lighttpd.conf
4. insert following lines:

debug.log-request-handling = "enable"
fastcgi.debug = 1

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/your_tool/cgi-bin" {

cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )

}

5. save
6. $ webservice start

check wit command $ qstat if your webservice has already startet (state = r)
At least http://tools.wmflabs.org/drtrigonbot/cgi-bin/panel.py should show up then. Maybe you have to tweak some symlinks/ filepaths afterwards.

Of course replace <your_tool> with drtrigonbot, so it lokks like this:

debug.log-request-handling = "enable"
fastcgi.debug = 1

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/drtrigonbot/cgi-bin" {

cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )

}

Note: it may take some secs until webservice is started. Check with $ qstat. Webservice Errors can be found in: error.log

The cgi-bin solution is documented at [[wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Help#Web services]], BTW.

Re http://tools.wmflabs.org/drtrigonbot/docs/, ~tools.drtrigonbot/public_html/docs is a symlink to /data/project/drtrigonbot/pywikibot-compat/docs which doesn't contain an index.html. What is your expected behaviour? If you want an automatic listing of the directory's contents, you need to enable dir-listing.activate as documented under "Directory or file index".

DrTrigon, do you still have difficulties with your /cgi-bin/?

Sorry! I did not had time to look into this (honestly I still don't have... ;).

Comment 1 and 2 were very useful to get my cgi-bin running again!

Comment 3 now points into the right direction to proceed; I need e.g. http://tools.wmflabs.org/drtrigonbot/logs/ to give a directory listing - how to do?

Look at "directory or file index" under https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help#Example_configurations

Actually precise at this moment I was able to get 'basic directory index' and even 'status and statistics' running. But how to open a file in browser instead of download, see e.g. http://tools.wmflabs.org/drtrigonbot/logs/compat/README
With .htaccess I could do: AddType text/plain .log > .htaccess

Exactly one section above "Directory or file index" is "Header, mimetype, error handler" with:

Closing for now since this change is by design.

In the pmtpa Tool Labs, the default web server was Apache. In eqiad, there is no default web server.

The server created by "webservice start" runs lighthttpd, this was already the case in pmtpa as well.

The problem is caused because in eqiad we no longer support tools running on a non-distributed catch-all Apache. Instead tools should use their own webservice, and labs has settled on using lighthttpd.

Incompatibilities would occur in either direction. To learn about lighthttpd and example for common configuration options, see 'Example configurations'

Thanks for the support and clarifications.
