redirect.cgi + suexec = HTTP 500

[MarlboroMan]

There's already a few threads close to what I'm talking about here that I looked at, but none seem to match my issue exactly (and everyone else's problems appear resolved)

We have a server that has suExec enabled, and the /cpanel, /webmail, etc redirects no longer work - they all end up with an HTTP 500 error, a

Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/redirect.cgi

in the error log, and

[2004-10-31 15:03:23]: info: (target/actual) uid: (randomuser/randomgroup) gid: (randomuser/randomgroup) cmd: redirect.cgi
[2004-10-31 15:03:23]: error: target uid/gid (32013/32014) mismatch with directory (0/10) or program (0/10)

I checked httpd.conf, and it does contain:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/cpanel/(.*) /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/redirect.cgi
ScriptAlias /cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/redirect.cgi

Permissions for the script appear correct:
[/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys]# ls -la redirect.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 760 Oct 31 14:34 redirect.cgi*

Running latest RELEASE:
<!---cPanel [9.9.8-RELEASE_5] () Copyright (c) 1997-2004 John N Koston.

Running /scripts/upcp or /scripts/updatenow does not resolve the issue, either.

Anyone else have any other thoughts on the matter?

Did you use the --force luke?

Err...seriously, did you try /scripts/upcp --force

[MarlboroMan]

Yes, I did try that.

cPanel Support came through for me on this one -

The issue is the patch RPM is not installed on the server, which cPanel uses during buildapache to (I assume) patch suexec to allow these scripts to run, when it normally wouldn't.

To resolve, install the patch RPM for your distribution, and re-run /scripts/easyapache

That should resolve the issue.

Hi,

Could you please let us know, how you got the patch rpm?
