Perhaps I wasn't clear. ANY script with a 'system()' command fails to run as a gci script under apache 2.2. Even if the command that is being run is in the same directory as the script (/var/www/cgi-bin) and has 777 permissions.
And the same script does run under apache 2.0. For both apaches the user and group settings are the same. Thanks! Steve P Steve Swift wrote:
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.On 10/02/07, *Steve Pelikan* <pelikan@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:pelikan@xxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: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?
