New VirtualHost

[Scott DuBois]

Hi All,

Over the last few days I've been working on setting up a new VirtualHost
inside Kubuntu 14.04 and been having difficulty getting any results
outside of the /var/www directory.

I've been playing around with LAMP stacks for a number of years as
simple development platforms for HTML, CSS and MySQL projects but as I'm
starting to learn Perl and thought I would set up CGI scripting to
/var/www which is working great then got a "wild hair" and thought I
would try setting up a new VirtualHost pointed to /srv for practice in
going through the motions of getting this to work but I'm still getting
permission errors.

I did a2ensite which resolved just fine and chmod /srv to 755
recursively as well as insuring all the files below are executable. My
file inside /etc/apache2/sites-enabled (sym'd to sites-available) is set
as such:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName roguehorse
        ServerAdmin webmaster at localhost
	DocumentRoot /srv
        #ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /srv/cgi-bin/
       <Directory "/srv/cgi-bin">
            AllowOverride All
            Options ExecCGI Multiviews FollowSymLinks
            AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .py
            Allow from all
       </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This file was copied from the 000-default.conf file as per the
instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/httpd.html

If someone could help me out with what I'm doing wrong to get access to
/srv through my loopback I would most grateful!

Also, this is simply a localhost installation that doesn't see the
outside but simply a platform for learning so strict permissions is not
a big priority as much as just getting the process to work then go from
there.
