I have somebody or some people who are abusing a Perl based .cgi script.
I have written a PHP page which reports this abuse as per
$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]. My intentions were to replace the .cgi script
with this .php script. Problem is these people are coming in with some
web crawler or something like that (i.e. wget http://myserver.com/thescript.cgi). Now if I replace thescript.cgi with
thescript.php they will not hit it. And if I replace thescript.cgi with
my PHP page, because it's not a Perl script yet ends in .cgi Apache is
saying "Exec format error: exec of '/path/to/script/thescript.cgi'
failed". Is there a way I can configure Apache or otherwise have
thescript.cgi execute PHP code (without crippling other .cgi Perl
scripts on my site)?

Not really. You could try writing a wee wrapper in Perl to replace
script.cgi which then calls the PHP script - but you won't be able to see
most of the parameters.

So a file named foo.cgi with a content like:
#!/usr/bin/php4
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
doesn't work?
Take a look at the Apaches RewriteEngine (mod_rewrite). Alternatively
modify the existing cgi to redirect to the php script.

You'll need to tell Apache to parse this file as PHP. I haven't tried
it, but something like this might work in you httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php thescript.cgi
If you don't have access to httpd.conf, you probably can add it to your
..htaccess file, but I haven't tried it.

I was wondering if a simple CGI script that redirects to a similarly
named PHP page would work. I will try that tonight.

That would cripple all the other .cgi Perl scripts on my site. I have
configured the CGIType in Apache and normally I want .cgi files to
execute Perl. But in this instance I want the .cgi to be executed by PHP.
I may try a redirect later tonight. Either that or instead of a web page
with embedded PHP I might try the shebang line of #!/usr/bin/php and
have it write out all of the necessary HTML - you know the content
header, etc...

Extensions have meaning once meaning is assigned. I have configured the
CGI type in Apache. Therefore Apache views all .cgi files a Perl scripts. Is there a way I can configure Apache or otherwise have thescript.cgi execute PHP code (without crippling other .cgi Perl scripts on my site)?

No it doesn't I got "malformed header from script. Bad header=Hello
World!: foo.cgi"
Take a look at the Apaches RewriteEngine (mod_rewrite). Alternatively modify the existing cgi to redirect to the php script.
I suspect a better approach is to leave .cgi scripts alone and instead
to do a redirect.

Use mod_rewrite, it can do what you want (I think)

Andrew,
No, it will only execute "thescript.cgi" . If you put in there "*.cgi"
it would cripple all the other scripts.
