My only experience with apache under linux is with redhat, so there may be subtle differences.
In order to execute "ls" then the userid:group under which apache runs needs at least two things:
1. Execute access to the executable (typically /bin/ls)
2. To have the path to the executable (/bin in this case) in the PATH environment variable.
There may be additional restrictions on accessing/executing the /bin/ls command.
Can you logon as the user/group and execute the "ls" command? This is inconclusive if it works as the environment may be different. It would probably be a better test if you could issue the "ls" command from a cron task running on behalf of the userid:group that you use in apache.
Additionally, are you using suexec? I'm suspect there are other restrictions if you do, maybe.
We have several perl cgi scripts that run fine with apache 2.0 but fail
with 2.2. This is using 2.2 that is part of recent Fedora and 2.0.59
that I just built and installed on the same machine.
The problem seems to be with system() calls in perl.
system("ls"); returns an error with version 2.2 but runs w/o error with 2.0
Same with File::Copy copy() function.
I believe I've made the configurations (httpd.conf) for the two apaches
the same.
What am I'm missing?
Thanks
