I thought it would be nice to create a shell script with the old name that would spit out a simple page saying the name changed and providing a link to the new cgi app. I made the shell script but for the life of me cannot get it to work. Is this allowed/supported in httpd? If so, any idea what I could be missing?
I think you might want something along the lines of "location /old/path.cgi
{ block return 301 https://hostname/new/path.cgi?$QUERY_STRING }" in httpd.conf.
If you're interested in why the shell script doesn't work, start by running
it manually inside the chroot jail and see what it says, e.g.
# chroot /var/www /var/www/cgi-bin/script.cgi
