Topic: WebDNA 7 FastCGI installation process for OSX Mavericks SERVER:

Step 1:
If you’re UPGRADING from an earlier version of OSX, first copy mod_fa=stcgi.so located at /usr/libexec/apache2 since the Mavericks install will de=lete this file if it exists.

Step 2:
Install mod_fastcgi.so by placing a copy of the file at /usr/libexec/apache=2/
Set permissions on mod_fastcgi.so to be the same as other .so files in that= directory.
(i.e., system=3Dread/write,wheel=3Dreadonly,everyone=3Dreadonly)

Step 3:
Install JAVA for OS X 2013-005
This is Java Runtime Edition 6 (v1.6.0_65)
Verify the install by typing “java -version” at the terminal co=mmand line
More information at: http://su=pport.apple.com/kb/DL1572
NOTE: At the time of this writing, Java Runtime 7 Update 45 is the latest v=ersion available from the Oracle web site. However, this did not work and I =reverted to version 6. I’m not sure why, but I suspect it is an issue =with where Java is installed.

Step 4:
For EACH web site domain (i.e., virtual host), place a copy of the /WebDNA =folder here:
/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/<myDomainDirectory>/

Step 5:
Place a copy of WebDNA.fcgi executable inside each of the /WebDNA folderschmod 755 WebDNA.fcgi

Step 6:
Open your httpd_server_app.conf (/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_s=erver_app.conf) and make sure that both of the following modules are loaded.= The mod_rewrite.so should be loaded by default, but you will need to add th=e entry for loading mod_fastcgi.so

LoadModule rewrite_module     libexec/apache2/mod_rewri=te.so
LoadModule fastcgi_module     libexec/apache2/mod_fastc=gi.so

Step 7:
Open your httpd_server_app.conf and add these lines...

<#-----------------------
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCGIServer /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/<myDomainDirectory1>/Web=DNA/WebDNA.fcgi -idle-timeout 60 -processes 1
FastCGIServer /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/<myDomainDirectory2>/Web=DNA/WebDNA.fcgi -idle-timeout 60 -processes 1
FastCGIServer /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/<myDomainDirectory3>/Web=DNA/WebDNA.fcgi -idle-timeout 60 -processes 1
</IfModule>
#-----------------------

… I did this just after the following directive:

<IfModule mime_module>
…
</IfDefine>

Step 8:
To hide some specific WebDNA-related files, add these lines in the httpd_se=rver_app.conf, just below the lines you added in Step 7.

#-----------------------
<FilesMatch ".*\.(db|inc|conf|ini)$">
Deny from all           &=nbsp;            =;            &nb=sp;            &=nbsp;            =;
</FilesMatch>
#-----------------------

Step 9:
Create a file to be included by your virtual hosts. To do this, follow thes=e steps:
1. Create a directory called “webdna_includes” located at /Libr=ary/Server/Web/Config/apache2/
2. Set permissions on this directory to be system=3Dread/write,wheel=3Dreadonly=,everyone=3Dreadonly
3. Create a plain text file named “webdna_vhost.conf” inside th=is directory with the following contents:

    <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
        Action webdna-fastcgi /WebD=NA/WebDNA.fcgi
        AddHandler webdna-fastcgi .=dna
        AddHandler webdna-fastcgi .=html
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule .* - [E=3DHTTP_AU=THORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
    </IfModule>

NOTE: The reason you make the include file rather than put the directives d=irectly in your virtual host configuration file is that Server.app will some=times wipe these directives when reconfiguring web services. If you use the =include file, Server.app will not touch the include call.

Step 10:
Edit each configuration file for your virtual hosts to include the call to =the file you created in Step 9. The virtual host config files are located at= /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/Sites/ and they take the form shown belo=w for non-SSL sites and SSL-enabled sites, respectively.

0000_X.X.X.X_80_<myDomainDirectory>.conf
0000_X.X.X.X_443_<myDomainDirectory>.conf

So, open the virtual host config file and add the following line at the ver=y end just before the closing </VirtualHost> tag.

    Include /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/webdna_i=ncludes/webdna_vhost.conf

Step 11:
Make sure that you add index.dna as a default index type for each WebDNA-en=abled site you host. Do this in Mavericks by opening Server.app, selecting W=ebsites under Services in the left-side pane, open your domain to edit and t=hen select the "edit" button next to "Index Files:". In =the drop-down sheet, select + and add "index.dna" to the list.

Step 12:
Make sure “dna” is included in your MIME types. To do this, edi=t the file “mime.types” located at /private/etc/apache2/ and add= the following line:

application/vnd.dna    dna

Step 13:
Restart apache by toggling the Websites service Off/On or by typing the fol=lowing command in terminal.app

apachectl restart

Step 14:
Connect your browser to http://www.domain1.com/WebDNA/Admin/AdminPrefs.dna to manage s=ite1,
http://www.dom=ain2.com/WebDNA/Admin/AdminPrefs.dna to manage site2 etc...

The default login is “admin” and the default password is “=;admin”

If the login fails, verify that you have the following lines in your virtua=l host configuration file (either directly or via an include file):

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule .* - [E=3DHTTP_AU=THORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
    </IfModule>

That should do it.
