FrontPage + SuExec

[Curious Too]

Is there anyone on this forum who has FrontPage working successfully with SuExec? If so, can you tell me how you fixed the problem of users not being able to publish their websites?

If not, can someone give me a checkoff list for uninstalling SuExec?

Thanks

This was a fresh install on a brand new server, running Redhat 7.2. Yes, I ran /scripts/initfpsuexec and the problem still occurs. The user is prompted repeatedly for a password when trying to publish.

 

[bdraco]

ls -l /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/apache-fp/_vti_bin/fpexe

Run the following command and paste the results back here please..

 

[bdraco]

Also, please verify the md5sum on initfpsuexec

[~]# md5sum /scripts/initfpsuexec
c682d5e50ed175f282a55a2dcc971f7e /scripts/initfpsuexec

 

[bdraco]

# md5sum /scripts/initfpsuexec
dd55c75483f90a0c529e76af37d42620 /scripts/initfpsuexec


is should also be ok as well..

you can always resync scripts with

rsync -av rsync://rsync.cpanel.net/scripts /scripts

What do you get an error in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log or /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log

while trying to use frontpage

[/quote:46faf2acf3]
no suexec_log has been created, but I see these errors in the error log:

Warning: User directive in <VirtualHost> requires SUEXEC wrapper.
Warning: Group directive in <VirtualHost> requires SUEXEC wrapper.

The suexec binary is in /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec but apparently is not starting when Apache is restarted?

ls -l /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec

711 isn\'t going to cut it for suexec. You need to make it 4755

chmod 4755 /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec


..retstart apache...

chmod 4755

 

[Curious Too]

That worked -- FP published like a charm. The server was delivered at the end of December with CPanel/Suexec preinstalled. You should probably notify distributors to make sure the permissions on the suexec binary are correct. Thanks for your help.

Added an autochmod in the initfpsuexec script ..
