I finally got it working
Those of you that are open-source gurus know that proprietory software sometimes stops you cold. Not so much in terms of usage, but more in terms of making it work even better. Such is that case with encrypted coldfusion templates. Imagine you are getting untold errors because of some incorrect code in the application, which is common across platorms, especiallly Linux, when the author wrote the app. for Windows. You open up the file, only to find streams of dingbats. This means you have an excrypted template. Then I came across shroom's site where I found the following perl script. Here's the script, but you will need to find the binary or compile it from source.
#!/usr/bin/perl
require "cgi-lib.pl";
&ReadParse; open (FP, "> temp");
print FP $in{fn}; close (FP);
$MSG = `/usr/local/bin/cfdecrypt < temp`;
print qq {Content-type: text/html $MSG }
The next thing to do is save the script as cfdecryt.cgi or cfdecrypt.pl as a text file in ascii. Then you chmod the file so it is executable ie:
chmod 755 cfdecrypt.cgi
Then you have to edit your apache httpd.conf file to allow execution of the perl script by creating a script alias to the cgi-bin and allowing users access. This can be achieved a number of ways, but it is best to study the documentation to get a better feel for it. Here's a sample config for a virtual host:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName foo.bar.tld
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/foo"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/html/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/var/www/html/cgi-bin">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Options +Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
