Perl cgi's now need -w or -U to run

[jcarey]

Not sure what I have done - but suddenly all my perl scripts need me to add -U or -w on the shebang line to run (or I get a500 internal server error) - anyone have a clue (I had auto update on - have since changed to manual - but I doubt any std update would have done it ?)

suexec log shows:

info: (target/actual) uid: (userid/userid) gid: (userid/userid) cmd: perldiver.cgi
[2005-07-27 16:01:47]: error: target uid/gid (32005/505) mismatch with directory (32005/505) or program (99/99) or trusted user (0/10)

My script is chmod 0755, userid and group are userid/userid (real ones) and both the group and userid are defined in /etc/group and /etc/passwd respectively. and cgi is in /home/userid/public_html/cgi-bin

I may experiment with turning suexec off in apache - if I can figure out how to do that (this is a test server so no impact at moment)

Is /home/userid/public_html/cgi-bin owned by userid:userid and chmod 755? Is /home/userid/public_html owned by userid:nobody and chmod 750?

[jcarey]

Yes - true in both cases - I noticed that the www->public_html was root.root - changed that as well to userid.nobody to no effect

strange

That is odd. I'm trying to wrack my brains as I have seen that before (with my perl coder hat on) but cannot rmember the cause.

If you hit a dead end, feel free to PM me.

Is /home/userid/public_html/cgi-bin owned by userid:userid and chmod 755? Is /home/userid/public_html owned by userid:nobody and chmod 750?

You need to connect to the server via SSH. If you are on a Windows platform then you can use SSH client like Putty to connect to the server and then check the permissions and ownerships of the directories.
