Hi All, I am using Windows Apache HTTP Server 2.0.55 with Cygwin on XP. I am trying to run the following bash script in my C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin dir: #!C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe PATH=/usr/bin echo -e "Content-type: text/html\n\n" searchResult=`su rbram -c "grep 'search term' //udportweb01/etech/eEmployment.log"` echo "grep result: $searchResult" When I run it, I get the following in error.log: [Fri Oct 06 11:55:13 2006] [error] [client 192.168.39.40] grep: //udportweb01/etech/eEmployment.log: Permission denied, referer: http://localhost/searchLogs/logSearchScripts.html However, I can run the command su rbram -c "grep 'search term' //udportweb01/etech/eEmployment.log" from Cygwin and it works. Is there any way I can get Apache to run this command with the full permissions I have?
